Hi Elumalai,
How is your father's general health? BP/diabetes/cardiac/renal problems?
Visit a Oral medicine specialist ASAP to ascertain what the cause of his problems are.
Once oral infection is cleared,he will be able to eat better. Meanwhile use TANTUM mouthwash/Mucopain ointment 20min before meals to prevent discomfort.
Oral infection has been known to aggravate chest/heart problems so do not delay the Dr appointment.
Thanks & best wishes to your father
