Brief Answer:
Medications can help him get better.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your father-in-law's symptoms.

The most common cause of shaking hands is essential tremors. These would get better with propranolol tablets, a beta blocker. Topiramate tablet is also helpful in treating this condition.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
