HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would say that chances of intestinal infection is very likely if I would be doctor of your father then I would treat him with the following medicine, 1) Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day, 2) Tab Acetaminophen three times in day, hope this information helps you, take a good care of your father and have a nice day.
