Hello,

I understand your concern. It seems like your father is suffering from a condition related to his foodpipe (esophagus), which is needs to be investigated. You do not provide further detail on your dad's medical history, thus I am unable to be more precise, however, I recommend he sees a doctor, who will very likely order an endoscopy in order to investigate the insides of the intestinal system. In the mean time, switching to a more liquid diet and avoiding solid foods would be the sensible thing to do.

Wishing you and your dad good health and all the best.
