Hi there. George may need antibiotics if his virus infection is leading to a secondary bacterial infection. These can explain weight loss, etc. He may also have ulcers around or in his mouth making him uncomfortable. It mate be that he is sick enough for hospitalization and fluids, etc to make him feel better. I hope this helps.
