The symptoms you had mentioned are mostly suggestive of some sort of chest infection for which you can give your father some antibiotic preferably Levoflox or augmentin after an expert advice along with diominic-dca or wikoryl for wheezing and congestion. For cough with mucus you can give him bro-zedex or ambrodil-s syrup three times daily. Advice him to do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce the congestion in the chest.
