Hi, Your father seems to be suffering from bronchial asthma. You need to get him evaluated by a Pulmonologist/ Chest Physician. Investigations that may be required are chest X-ray, serum IGE levels and pulmonary function test in consultation with the Pulmonologist. Depending on the evaluation results he may be prescribed certain inhalers and oral medications along with a nasal spray. Also, he is a candidate for yearly flu vaccination and 5 yearly pneumococcal vaccination. Depending on your location in India, you may find a pulmonologist. A list is available on this website:link:http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/Pulmonologists-in-India/L18860S37 You may search as per your location. Regards
