I'm really worried about my dad. He's dealing with an anal fissure and he's been feeling extremely fatigued lately. It's so bad that he can't even walk on his own. Plus, he's running a fever, which just adds to his discomfort. What should we do to help him manage all these issues, especially the fatigue? Any advice would be really appreciated.
