Suggest Treatment For Chronic Bronchitis With Throat

My dad, 86years old, was a smoker for about 40+ years and still sneaks a puff or two a day. He has been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. He has had throat surgeries to remove some cancerous growths. He has had trouble with his voice becoming no more that a whisper since then. Is there anything that can be done to he had recover more of his voice?
