As you have mentioned your father is suffering from disc prolapse, so you just have to give him some painkiller like tab kilos or tab attract twice daily after meals along with tab shall 500 mg or tab toscal-gem once daily after meals with tab rant ac or cap Gomez twice daily empty stomach at-least one hour before any meal. As your father is too old what I guess I suggest him to take painkiller not on regular basis but only when his back pain is unbearable or disturbing his routine activities. You can also use holdup gel or powergesic-plus gel for local application. It is also very beneficial in relieving the back pain and provide him some comfort. Apart from these he can also go for physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. Also, he has to sleep on plain surface because it is a good practice in case of back pain which is due to disc prolapse.
