Client_c181d6

MY BROTHER AGED 55 YEARS IS ON BED FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS , FOR THE PROBLEMS OF BED SORE . THE BED SORES ARE IN BOTH LEGS ABOVE THIGH AND AT BACK ,NEAR TO SPINE. THE PROBLEM OF BED SORES ARE AT THE VERGE OF RESOLVING. MY BROTHER HAS PAST HISTORY OF ACUTE KIDNEY INFECTION ( AKI) AND HAS CHRONIC CONSTRUCTION. FOR AKI , HE WAS ADMITTED IN JULY 2025 . THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. AT PRESENT HE HAS BEEN ON BED FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THE MAJOR PROBLEM AT PRESENT IS OF SEVERE STIFFNESS IN BOTH KNEES. HE CANNOT EVEN STRETCH HIS LEGS. DUE TO THIS REASON , HE IS ON BED . FOR PASSING URINE A FOLEYS CATHETER HAS BEEN INSERTED FROM TIME TO TIME DURING THESE MONTHS. COMPLETE URINE ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DONE FROM TIME TO TIME. AT PRESENT REPORT OF URINE ANALYSIS SHOWING INCREASED PUS CELLS , IT MEANS THAT HE HAS UTI. IN ADDITION TO THIS HIS HEMOGLOBIN IS BELOW 10 GM FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. BLOOD TRANSFUSION WAS DONE DURING ADMISSION AND IRON AND FOLIC INJECTIONS AND TABLETS HAS BEEN GIVEN FROM TIME TO TIME. FOR KIDNEY INFECTION AND IN LATER STAGE URINARY INFECTION , MOST OF THE ANTIBIOTICS HAS BEEN USED. AT PRESENT HE IS RESISTANT TO MOST OF THE ANTIBIOTICS. I HAVE LOST MY FAITH IN ALOPATHY. AT PRESENT FROM INSIDE OF MY HEART I HAVE FAITH IN AYURVEDA AND OUR GLORIOUS PAST. WE ARE PURELY VEGETARIONS, WE DO NOT TAKE EVEN EGGS. PLEASE GIVE YOUR VALUABLE ADVICE , FOR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL THERAPY INCLUDING DIET PLAN AND ALSO TELL WHICH COOKING OIL WE HAVE TO USED. I SHALL BE OBLIGED. THANKING YOU.
