HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father looking to the history given here and the age of your father certain pain killing medicine should be given with full precaution and under the medical supervision, in my opinion the moral support would work very nicely than the medicine try to spend more time with him, he would be in need of some company, hope this information helps you have nice day.
