My dad's 58 and he's been dealing with a high fever, loose motion, and shivering since yesterday. Today the fever's come down, but the loose motion hasn't stopped. He's also feeling weak and has body pain. We started him on antibiotics, like allopathic medicine, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. What should we do next?

I've got this little situation where my puppy, who's just a stray and about one and a half months old, accidentally nipped my thumb while I was feeding him. It wasn't a deep bite, just caught me for a split second, but it did break the skin a bit and I noticed a tiny bit of blood. It's been about 23 hours now, and there's no pain or bleeding anymore. I washed the area really well and put some antibacterial cream on it right away. Should I be worried about getting an injection for this, or am I good? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here.
