Hello thanx for using hcm,
First of all it will be better to medically evaluate him by consulting a good physician and know what kind of sickness he is suffering from, unless and until the treatment is not started there will be no improvement in his condition.
As far as diet is concrned you can give both soft ,bland diet as well as total nutritional supplements.
Give v soft cooked easy to digest cereals, vegetablesoup, chicken soup,milk, curds, fruit juices.
Certain Nutrition supplements like Ensure can be given 2-3 times in a day.
