Saudi Arabia's King Salman, 88, has completed tests for lung inflammation and recovered, the kingdom's Royal Court said on Wednesday.
The Royal Court had on Sunday said the monarch was suffering from a lung infection and would undergo tests "based on the recommendations of the royal clinics".
In May, the Royal Court first disclosed that King Salman was suffering from a lung ailment as well as other symptoms including a high temperature and joint pain. The king last chaired a cabinet meeting on September 24.
In August, the monarch issued a royal decree that allowed the cabinet to convene in the absence of both himself and the prime minister, his son Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Prince Mohammed offered reassurances about the health of the king at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, state media reported.
King Salman has been on the throne since 2015. His son became first in the line of succession in 2017.
The king's reign has been marked by social and economic reforms largely managed by his son, who is trying to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy for a post-oil future.

Ads on social media can 'normalise' drugs
A UK report on youth social media habits commissioned by advocacy group Volteface found a quarter of young people were exposed to illegal drug dealers on social media.
The poll of 2,006 people aged 16-24 assessed their exposure to drug dealers online in a nationally representative survey.
Of those admitting to seeing drugs for sale online, 56 per cent saw them advertised on Snapchat, 55 per cent on Instagram and 47 per cent on Facebook.
Cannabis was the drug most pushed by online dealers, with 63 per cent of survey respondents claiming to have seen adverts on social media for the drug, followed by cocaine (26 per cent) and MDMA/ecstasy, with 24 per cent of people.
