So when he "feels cold" he has a temperature? How high is it?

Does he feel tired all the time? does he have a cough?

Ok that would be good. I am wondering if it is hormonal. like too much adrenaline or cortisol. Does he actually have a fever?

I read this and if he had no other symptoms it may be just that the water is too hot and then creates a reaction for him. See this link.

Welcome. We are not doctors are here but I can try to advice. Does your father have any other symptoms? Have you taken his temperature with a thermometer?
