You didn't describe name of the medicines. And since how much duration he is suffering from problem like this.
There is possibility of the medicine formulation which is responsible for the problem.
Another thing that your father has improper method of swallow medicine.
One more possibility of some problem in trachea or esophagus. So better to ask the doctor who has prescribed the medicines or you can consult ENT surgeon for proper examination and treatment.
