HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The time frame of the fever varies, it would depend on his response to treatment.
If he does not appear to be responding then his doctors would consider switching him to a different regimen.
In terms of his diet, you may want to try a high calorie diet to help maintain or regain weight.
Ensure drinks may be helpful in this instance. His doctor may be able to suggest a nutritionist who can help you with a diet plan.
I hope this helps
