Some antibiotics can effect you in ways you never thought. They can have psychological/emotional effects. You may want to look them up on www.rxlist.com for rare side effects.
It's also OK for your Dad to feel emotional from time to time. He needs to be allowed to have these moments and to see that his family can handle them. So many try to be strong for their loved ones/caregivers. They end up taking care of everyones emotions but their own. Bone marrow diseases put everyone on the emotional roller coaster. There's a good chance your dad will rebound when he starts feeling better. Being home will help. I would not worry too much unless it becomes prolonged. I do know how difficult it is to see a loved one struggle.
