HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father, if this is pneumonia then it may take more time to come around even after the total recovery cough could remain there for some time but this is nothing to worry and this may not need any treatment, at the most steam inhalation, and pure honey can be tried (If not diabetic) take care.
