hello,
as your father is elderly, i would suggest get a cancer screening done due to the symptoms he is presenting with and also screen him for tb,
the medications that he is taking dont have side effects as he is presenting
other nervous diseases need to also be ruled out,
i would suggest you should take him to be seen by a physician for further workup and treatment
hope have answered your query
hope your father gets a quick recovery.
