Obviously needs nutrition (and probably fluids and electrolytes). The most critical issue is his oxygenation. If very short of breath or persistent cough, needs to go to ER. If weight loss and poor appetite, needs a med to control nausea and then fluids, electrolytes and glucose. See a doctor for more specifics
