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.

If u are having good diet and have a walk daily you may not need medicine except there is deficiency. Check with Vit B12 & DE. And if deficient then take medicine for it

Can my husband start taking Nurokind LC after breakfast for a month to help with his nutritional needs? He drinks Ensure powder with milk every day, but he still gets leg pain when walking long distances. He's also on vitamin D tablets once a month. I'm just wondering if this would help or if there's something else we should do?

Yes he can take it no problem

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.
