Dear Mr Kishore Bullock, It seems that your father-in-law is exhibiting signs of disease progression. Unfortunately, Parkinson's disease is incurable and despite medical treatment the disease progresses. Therefore, he needs to be under regular follow-up with the specialist who will assess whether there needs to be a dose increase in his current medicines or any change to the medicines he is taking. Constipation is a common and troubling side effect with Parkinson's disease. The disease itself causes the constipation and most of anti-parkinsons medicines aggravate it. Therefore, he needs to ensure adequate fiber intake in the diet, adequate fluid intake. Stool softness and laxatives will also help. Hope this helps.
