My bedridden mother suffers from loose motion for the past 24 hours. How to treat her?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. It seems that she is developing bedsores. Please mention the duration of her lying position in bed. To prevent the development of bedsores, turn her position frequently. You can place a pillow under the back for support. Clean the area gently and keep it dry by applying talcum powder. Redness on the butt can occur due to bed sores or pressure sores. You can try to use a water bed for her. It helps to distribute pressure, and it avoids pressing at one point.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The redness around the anus is due to frequent loose stools. Try to keep the area dry and wipe it gently. Her blood pressure is in the lower range. Keep her hydrated by giving lots of water. You can give an oral rehydration solution to her. Mix it with the water as instructed on the packet. Continue giving fluids to her. You can give one liter of water for about two to three hours. Give her slowly.

Binge drinking can cause vomiting. If oral rehydration solution is not available, you can mix table salt with water to rehydrate her. You can also give Lactobacilli capsules to her. She can take two to three sachets for 24 hours. Try to keep her hydrated as much as possible. She can have moaning due to weakness and loss of electrolytes in stools. Keeping herself hydrated helps her a lot.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
