Where Can I Find Good Medication For ‘bed-sore’ Of An 80 Yr Old Patient?
I stay at Borivali, Mumbai (India). I need some proper medication for treatment of bed-sore of an eighty year old patient. Can anyone please suggest a good doctor or maybe a good home-remedy to the ulcer? Urgent response required. Thank you.
Bedsores are very difficult to heal. The best medicine for a bedsore is to keep pressure off of it. This is difficult, because other bony areas will then be at risk. People with bedsores must be turned and moved very frequently to prevent “pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers”. Their skin must be kept free of moisture. Once the ulcers develop, they must be kept clean and away from stool or urine or sweat. In the hospital, we use a thick gel bandage called Duoderm, and special airmattresses. The gel bandage lets the wound heal within a moist, clean environment, and it also provides a cushioning barrier. It is likely that this bedsore cannot be treated at home.
for simple bed sores of a aged person , you can use homeopathy dusting powder Calendula and calendula ointment, without any side effects. But you should keep in mind, for better effect that the patient change her position at regular intervals.
for ulcers only doctor can help you, after verifying which type of ulcers they are, any infections, other problems she is facing etc.
use talcum powder on bed sores
apply lobet gm cream or dermotriad
wash well
