Doctor says Trump treated with steroid Saturday
WASHINGTON, United States (AP) — The United States president’s physician says President Donald Trump was treated with a steroid after a drop in oxygen levels on Saturday.
Dr Sean Conley said at a news conference on Sunday that he was given the steroid dexamethasone while he was hospitalised at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Conley said the president’s oxygen level had dropped down to 93 per cent on Saturday. He says the president did not feel short of breath.
He says the president’s medical team is hoping Trump will be up and about, out of bed and eating and drinking throughout the day.
