Hi,
From history it seems that case of your father requires evaluation.
It requires through investigations and after all reports one gets some clue about his illness.
there is likely of having,
COPD,
Chronic brinchitis,
Pulmonary tuberculosis etc.
Go for,
X-ray chest,
Complete blood test including, ESR, Eosinophil count.
If lesion in the lung found then go for biopsy.
Best way is to consult Pulmonologist and get investigated.
Ok and bye.
