Brief Answer:
Most probably having URTI.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history, it appears that your father is most probably having upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).

If I were your father treating doctor, I would advice to
continue AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE & GUAIPHENESIN SYRUP for cough &
Use Steam Inhalation twice daily & Antihistaminic levocetirizine at night for cold.

You can discuss this with your treating doctor.

Hope it is helpful to you. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards.
