Dear, U need not have to worry. Some infections take time to heal. Then also if it is bothering you then just check: If your father took antibiotic course, then just once do Blood sugar level analysis, as some times raised sugar levels cause delay in healing. If he didnot take any antibiotic course then consult your GP & start some antibiotic.
