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 . The medicine doctor can review for the necessary medications required in combination with the ones already being given for pain relief .

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
