Yes definitely your father has to go for surgical treatment because his mri report of cervical spine is showing abscess which is obstructing his airway. Immediately consult to any neuro-surgeon and proceed further as per the expert advice. I will suggest you to start some antibiotic at this point of time like tab augmentin 625 mg three times daily or tab linezolid 600 mg twice daily after meals with tab combiflam three times daily or tab ultracet twice daily for pain with tab rabeprazole or cap pantop twice daily empty stomach.
