By avoiding pressure on the bedsore site the pain will reduce . Turning in bed 2 hourly can help in healing the bedsore which will reduce the pain as the healing progresses .

Need to see the photo of the bedsore as the pain might be because of secondary infection If it has slough then he will need debridement. Only antibiotics won't help
