Hi. I believe someone has already asked this, but I can't seem to find it.

When a villager who dislikes potions is weakened, and they aren't an elder, will they recover over time? Because I have a villager who was weakened in an alchemy explosion and I'm worried about leaving him alone only to come back and find that he's dead. He is one of my only two males.

Is it really impossible to make him drinking a potion?
You may put him at the food bin and make him eating a lot. Also, give him a job as farming or healing so he'll be hurt in working!

Yeah, it is impossible. If they dislike potions they'll run away if you try to make them drink it.

Ok, thanks. I'll make sure he eats alot, and I'll let him work with his wife in healing. Hopefully he gets better.

Weakened villagers can get better on their own. You can read a lot more detail the causes and remedies in this post.
