Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... According to history your father can have respiratory lung infection along with laryngitis ... Consult physician for examination.... Posterior pharynx also needs to be examined. Chest x-ray done ... If needed spirometry also done ... If evidence of bronchoconstriction by investigation bronchodilator can be given . If seems lower resp infection then antibiotic given ... If needed short term steroid can be given... Steam inhalation can be useful.... Chat Doctor. ... Avoid smoking... Take care ...
