Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more likely.
Treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only the disease.
To know the severity, you're should get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
He will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and tiotropium inhaler.
Oral antibiotic like azithromycin is also good.
N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also having beneficial effects (mucolytic and expectorant).
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
