Question
My baby accidentally burned themselves while drinking water, and there are many blisters on their hand. I don’t know how to deal with these blisters. They’re not severe. What is the proper method for treating minor burns with blisters?
Answer
Blisters can form on fingers after a burn due to increased interstitial fluid. It’s generally not recommended to puncture the blisters. You can apply moist burn ointment to the burned area to keep it moist. Additionally, you can use an antibiotic cream topically to prevent regional infection. Over time, the fluid will be absorbed. If there are symptoms like itching, specific medications can be used for relief.
