Hi. You have not mentioned exactly which type of cholesterol has shown this value of 326 (like total, LDL etc.). That will decide the severity of his problem. Whether this needs just life style modification or medicine and if so, in what dose etc. will depend on many things like presence of other problems (diabetes, heart problem etc.), his current complaints etc. This can be decided only after thorough clinical examination. So please meet a doctor as early as possible and get him personally examined to plan the further line of management.
