Bed sores on the side of left leg.
My grandma age 80 got end stage bed sore. What is the treatment for that? If surgery then will it be okay for her to have a surgery? She has left eating since past 10 days.

Treatment depends on how deep it is. A superficial bed sore heals just with off loading.. Deeper and infected ones need surgical intervention. I hope u are using a water bed or a air bed. Post pics if possible.
