At what age does your immune system weaken?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
One's immune system is said to grow weak by passing age. Although there's no one number which applies for all, most research showed that commonly by 65 years our immune system may decline allowing for more infections and diseases to take hold.

View allI'm looking for some advice on treating bed sores, especially around the tailbone area. My loved one is unable to walk or stand, making it harder to care for her. Can you recommend any sprays that might help?
I recommend using a spray called "Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution." This spray helps to cleanse the wound and promote healing. In addition to using the spray, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Change the bedding frequently and use a special cushion or mattress to relieve pressure on the tail bone. Make sure to reposition the patient regularly to prevent further pressure on the affected area. If the bed sore is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
