Was the check by the doctor any good? Fluid samples taken for testing, and so forth? If he's diabetic, for example, it will be harder to recover from an illness than if he was healthy.

2...2...2 Dads in one!:) Seriously though, you need to get him to rule out not only some of the things mentioned in this thread, but anything it could possibly be that the experts can think of. Hope everything goes well.

Generally coughs aren't a worry unless they last 14 days or more... Did she listen to his chest to see if there was any phlegm on the chest cavity/lungs? It might be a chest infection or as GeneralDurr said, pneumonia (though I think it'd be a lot worse if he did). It is a productive cough - bringing up mucus? Any discolouration? If he's not taking blood pressure medication I'd get a decongestant & cough expectorant to help thin the mucus and get it out more efficiently. Roubitoussin does one and I'm pretty certain you can get that IN AMERICA.

Just a dry cough. He said nothing wrong in his lungs. He lost his voice for like 5 days from all the coughing but his voice is getting better now.

You have no effin' idea. Stupid kids doing this everywhere. :mad:

Okay this is just me, but I'd be getting pissed now. Tell your dad to stop acting like a selfish hardass. Unless he has a legit reason like he really can't afford it or is one of those people who really want to heal only by natural causes, don't let him refuse medical attention so easily. A real man wouldn't be so selfish to put his family through such distress. If this truly upsets you, let him know. If he doesn't care that you care, then you have a real wiener for a father.

I don't know your dad and maybe he's incredibly unreasonable. Maybe it'd just turn into a lot of yelling. I just know I'd handle it pretty upfront.

My mom has aids from dirty needles. She's a junkie.
honestly, at this point i can't tell if you're joking

If you live with him, or near him, get him started on some garlic eating. 1 clove a day, ground up, whole, whatever, can help with heart disease and ED. It's the cheap way of helping when people have heart attacks or high cholesterol.
well I guess his breath wont matter if he has ED
