Brief Answer:
Oxygen Saturation less than 94% is worrying, get her admitted.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Your sister's oxygen saturation levels are worrying, this indicates disease getting worse, you need to get her to a hospital ASAP and admit her and get a HRCT of chest and also COVID test done urgently.

As for treatment, becuase she has low oxygen saturation, she will need oxygen to be given.

Other than that, steroid injections can be started after confirming the issue by doing CT scan of the chest.

Please go to the hospital and start treatment.

Hope this helps, apologies for the delay in answering your query.

Wishing your sister a speedy recovery.

Best regards
