My father was in a motorbike accident 2 days ago. He is 69. We are from america visiting auroville. He cracked a rib and bone and has stitched laceration across skull. We were in a local hospital for 2 days but they were very bad about pain management. We are in a hotel now. He is overweight and in a lot of pain every time he moves, breathes. Too much pain to get up to use the toilet or shift position in bed or sit up to eat. Can you prescribe strong pain medication online that I can get locally so he can sit up to eat? I don't have an indian number but I can whatsapp.

We cannot prescribe medicine as we are physiotherapists. We can also suggest you home care advise like keeping ice in the injured area on the cracked rib and bone. You need to consult the physician for the medicines. For the toileting you can use commodes which will help you to have more comfort while sitting and going for toilet.
