How to relieve pressure with bedsores?

[FrogFan]

Hi,

 

my grandma recently got bedsores and she is in a lot of pain. We don't live near hear so we can't help her directly. but she has a nanny and other family members who look after her. we tried to move her every couple of hours to relieve the pressure, but each time it's getting more and more painful.

 

please let us know any alternatives that are less painful and will help my grandma get better soon.

 

thank you.

Hi there,

 

I sympathize with your grandmother's pain. However, we don't discuss medical advice for patients on the forums. I would definitely get your grandmother's physician involved, if this hasn't already occurred. That individual would be the best person to contact for treatment decisions, as well as decide if more advanced care is necessary to help things heal.
