Question
I still need to apply medication until it’s completely healed, and my feet hurt when I can’t put them down. I don’t know how to alleviate this situation. How long will it take to be able to go out and walk again, and what medication should be used for a child who has been scalded with boiling water?
Answer
Burn wound treatment requires preventing infection and promoting healing. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular professional hospital. After the burn area is disinfected and cleaned with iodine alcohol, blisters can be removed and fluid drained, with the skin flap retained to protect the wound. After being scalded with boiling water, due to skin damage, the regional barrier function is compromised, making it easy to cause infection, deepen the wound, and prolong healing time.
