Hi,

Thanks for your post. Considering your father's age and all the problems stated by you it is advisable that he has a complete work-up for the cause of jaundice and patch in right lung. If the fever has started coming down with the antibiotic then it is good. However the jaundice and the patch in the lung should not be taken lightly at this age.

Wishing your father a speedy recovery.
