Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Carbon monoxide will slowly go out of your system.
2. Treatment is still controversial and breathing 100% oxygen is advised, but again, it is only in serious cases.
3. It will take another week to get out of your system. Not to worry. It will improve slowly.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
