Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have read your father's symptoms in detail, and I think he has suffered a brain stroke, affecting the right side of brain. As the right side of brain controls the movements on the left side of body, he is unable to move the affected side (left side).
MRI scan of brain wold confirm the diagnosis- ischemia (lack of blood flow) or haemorrhage (bleeding into brain tissue).
If it is ischemic stroke, he would require aspirin tablet to prevent strokes in the future. In addition, he would require intensive physiotherapy and rehabilitation to speed up the recovery.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
