May be because of pneumonia he has lost proteins from his body. Which cause week, loss of weight and muscle mass leading to tiredness. Give high protein diet like eggs and milk in high quantity along with sprouted pulses.
There is a possibility of gastritis leading to poor apetite and dry mouth so pls take gastro opine regarding his poor health.
With increasing age Testicular atropy chances are high. You did not mention age of the pt.
I feel with my experiance your husband would turn normal with good diet supplement and support.
