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.

View allMy 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.
