This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I note that none of the prescribers on this Forum has replied you so far and I presume that they have not dose so as your father's case is very complicated.
It will not be possible to treat all his symptoms concurrently and I would request you to indicate which of his many ailments should be treated immediately.
Also indicate the drugs that he is using today.

The remedy for your father's Asthma is Blatta Orientalis 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. First thing in the morning on an empty stomach and last thing before he goes to bed.
You will also order Ars Alb 200 in the Dry lactose pellets to be used on a SOS basis if he gets an attack
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made up as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack also known as Liquid Dilution.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles.
This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is sipped as directed.
4 to 5 ltrs of water is excessive. How and when does he manage to drink up this water ?

Continued:
Your dad will discover that if my choice of remedy is correct that he will be relieved of his Asthma quickly, almost overnight. He will then stop all the Inhalers and steroids he is using which I believe are the root cause of his other ailments.
In the event of an attack he will take 6 pellets Ars Alb sublingually and report his response on this thread.
I must have details of how he responded to the Blatta Or (BO) and when he observed his first sign of his Asthma easing up. The timing is important.
Please note that I may have to change the remedy if he does not respond and this information is critical to enable me to do so.
