Brief Answer:
antibiotics to control possible respiratory infection, he needs re evaluation by his Neurophysician..

Detailed Answer:
Hi , welcome to HCM,

Motor activity is very much effected in Parkinson's disease patients which may be reason for problems in expelling mucus. Apart from using antibiotics to control possible respiratory infection, he needs re evaluation of his Parkinson's treatment by his Neurophysician.

In the meanwhile try Steam inhalation 3-4 times a day..as well as some saline nebulization..

Let me know if there's any further query regarding..

Thanks
