General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

You have not mentioned which drug your husband was started on.
If any medication were prescribed for hypophosphatemia and he has not taken it for 1 month may be the reason he has got more ill.
What are the other medical conditions he have?

Hypophosphatemia is treated by calcitriol and phosphate salts with constant lab monitoring after every 3 months.
Dont start the medicine by yourself.
The condition of your husband needs to be reevaluated based on his serum calcium and phosphate levels and kidney function tests.
Meet your doctor in this regard.

Hope I answered your query.
Wish him good health.
I find this answer helpful
