Hi

Your father seems to be developing drug allergy after the intake of pain killers.
Such drug allergies tend to increase on every subsequent exposure to the offending agent. So you should take care not to give the same agent again to your dad to which he had developed allergy earlier.
Pain killers are a very important cause of such an allergic reaction. However paracetamol is still considered the safest in this group.
If he has not developed an allergy to this drug earlier, this can be used for pain relief.

Hope it helps
