Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Duolin contains Salbutamol with ipratropium and is for use maximum three times a day 8 hours apart between doses.
Lung function tests are required to see what the problem is - so that the best treatment options can be considered.
A Chest physician must be consulted, and if there is suspicion of allergy, an Allergist as well.
If your father has multiple birds at home, please mention this to the doctor.

Best Wishes.
