Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion your father is having lower respiratory tract infection (LETI). It is known as pneumonia. Pneumonia is caused by bacteria mostly, but viral infection can also cause this.  And it is spread by inhalation. Since total count is high it seems bacterial pneumonia mostly. So, In pneumonia we need to first identify the organism.  For this sputum culture and sensitivity is necessary to guide antibiotic therapy. So better to consult pulmonologist and start appropriate antibiotics.
