Has he tried seeing a doctor?

He can try drinking as much water as possible. This will help keep his lungs cleared of any mucus, which can trigger coughing. Also, have him stay away from milk until he gets rid of the cough - instead drink clear liquids only. The milk will only make the cough and congestion worse. If he has a "dry" cough where he is not actually coughing up anything, he can try a cough suppressant. If he has a "productive" cough, where he is actually coughing up phlegm, he can try a cough syrup/expectorant. Check out Robitussin cough syrups - they came in a variety of forms, depending on your symptoms and the type of cough you have. They can also be purchased over the counter without a prescription. Best of luck to your dad.

He probably has bronchitis but needs a dr. to see him and prescribe for him as bronchitis is extremely painful and makes it easier to develop pneumonia.

I use honey and occasionally add a little lemon to it. It works well. Also, rock candy or peppermint candy dissolved in vodka works well as a cough syrup.

Wear socks, cover the neck, drink some hot chocolate and may get some cough syrup that you can mix in tea or coffee.

Your dad might have bronchitis or asthma. This is very serious. He needs to see a Dr. right away. He might need some breathing treatments.
