If it's mild and recent, you could start with a general MD. You can take singulair, advair and q-var to prevent astma and albuterol to unconstrict the airways.

If you think it's allergy related, you can try OTC Claritin etc, but if symptons persist for more than a couple of weeks, your Dad should really see a Doc. Untreated asthma can cause permanent scarring in the lungs.

Good luck, BB
