Clinical examination is needed.

Detailed Answer:

I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, to answer this, clinical examination is needed.
So better to consult pulmonologist in person and get done clinical examination.
If he is improving, no need to worry. But if oxygen saturation is going low while walking, better to admit him.
