Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This us Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
See, sterizol is silver sulphadiazine and it is effective in conditions like bedsore and sepsis. You can use it over the affected area.
Also use water bed. It helps as the soft bed avoids formation of bedsore as contact and friction is reduced.
Continue cleaning the pus and sore with sterile swabs and apply ointment.

Hope this was helpful.
Regards
