How to deal with bed sore ulcers in bedridden elderly people

Bedridden elderly people with bedsores can be treated by changing position, disinfection and medication, and in severe cases, surgery. 1. Changing position: When bedsores appear to be ulcerated, the posture should be changed in time, and the elderly should be turned over every once in a while or a special mattress should be used to avoid further aggravation of bedsores. 2. Cleaning and disinfecting: After cleaning the ulcerated and necrotic areas, disinfecting the ulcers with iodophor will help the wounds to recover. 3. Medication: For those who are infected, antibiotic drugs such as tetracycline and metronidazole can be taken under the guidance of specialized physicians. 4. Surgical treatment: if the symptoms are more serious and the localized necrotic ulceration is more serious, the necrotic part can be removed by surgical instruments with the help of doctors.
