Brief Answer:
Breathing exercises

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think post COVID, your father is having some inflammation in the respiratory tract. He can be given inhaler to breath better for some activity like aerocort inhaler.
Also breathing exercises are needed. He can take 10 long deep breaths every hour or he can use lung exerciser for the purpose or learn pranayam (like alternate nostril breathing) and do it regularly.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
