My father has been dealing with paralysis and now he's also got a cough, and he's struggling to breathe normally. Plus, he's not eating his meals fully and seems really weak, and he's been bedridden. Can you advise what we should do to help him? I'm really concerned and need guidance urgently.

I'm looking for some advice on treating bed sores, especially around the tailbone area. My loved one is unable to walk or stand, making it harder to care for her. Can you recommend any sprays that might help?
I recommend using a spray called "Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution." This spray helps to cleanse the wound and promote healing. In addition to using the spray, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Change the bedding frequently and use a special cushion or mattress to relieve pressure on the tail bone. Make sure to reposition the patient regularly to prevent further pressure on the affected area. If the bed sore is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm trying to figure out which Shelcal tablet would be best for my 65-year-old mom. The doctor prescribed one Shelcal a day. There are a bunch of options out therelike Shelcal 500, Shelcal HD, Shelcal CT, Shelcal OS, ShelcalHD 12, Shelcal M, Shelcal 250 mg, and Shelcal K. It's a bit overwhelming, and I just want to make sure I pick the right one for her. Could you help me understand which one might be the most suitable?
You should seek clarification from your prescribing doctor, because each type of Shelcal tablet has different contents.
