Context and dynamics matter. While at the lower limit of normal, if significant work of breathing and sats declining definitely of concern.

Depends on any underlying medical problems and what the teen’s baseline is. Certainly should call their doctor for discussion and possible exam. If difficulty breathing, please go to the ER.
