My grandmother has a small wet wound near her hip, and I think it might be a pressure sore since she can only sleep in one position after her hip replacement surgery three years ago. What kind of medication or topical cream can we use for this? Also, should we do any special dressing? She's not very mobile, so taking her to a doctor is difficult right now.

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He's had this persistent pain on the left side of his lower ribs for over a month now, about 34 days, and it gets worse when he touches it or coughs. He hasn't had any accidents or injuries recently, so I'm confused about what's going on. Could you advise me on what we should do next to help him feel better?
