View allMy grandmother has a small wet wound near her hip, and I think it might be a pressure sore since she can only sleep in one position after her hip replacement surgery three years ago. What kind of medication or topical cream can we use for this? Also, should we do any special dressing? She's not very mobile, so taking her to a doctor is difficult right now.

My granddad's been stuck in bed for quite a while now, and he's developed bed sores. I'm really worried about him, and I'm trying to figure out what the best medicines might be to help with this situation. Could you guide me on this?
To help treat bed sores, it is important to keep the affected area clean and dry. Using medicated dressings can also help promote healing. One commonly used medication is hydrocolloid dressings, such as Duoderm, which can help maintain a moist environment for healing. Additionally, topical antibiotics like silver sulfadiazine cream, such as Silvadene, can be used to prevent infection in the sores. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper assessment and management of bed sores, as they may require a combination of treatments tailored to your grandfather's specific condition.
