Hi,

It looks like a infection of lungs and respiratory tract called as pneumonia. The infection probably is in blood also leading to BP on lower side. He'll need chest x ray, blood culture, sputum culture and may be ct scan if needed. In the treatment he should get broad spectrum antibiotics for infection. If chest x ray is normal then he ll more test to find out the focus of infection like Ultrasound abdomen, Widal test etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
