My father was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis.he is 81.he got discharged from hospital.he is ok but lots of weakness.is it normal!help?

No/Yes: Your father could be weak after a hospital stay for any ailment but should be evaluated for any deterioration from when he left the hospital or for any concerns. I am assuming he is elderly and this would be expected but he may need something for his appetite and also physical therapy for improve his stamina and strength.
