Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your father has pneumonia and kidney infection. He needs higher antibiotics to control the infection first. Taxim, gentamycin and metronidazole or other broad spectrum antibiotics should be used. For intravenous antibiotics and fluid treatment he needs hospitalization. regular complete blood count and creatinine level should be measured. So go for hospitalization and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
