Question
How to quickly treat a child’s hand burn?
Answer
Burns are categorized into three degrees. First-degree burns involve skin damage, characterized by localized mild redness and swelling with pain but no blisters; second-degree burns affect the dermis layer, with redness, pain, and blisters of varying sizes; third-degree burns affect subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and even bones, appearing gray or brownish. After rinsing, immediate cleaning and disinfection should be performed, and burn ointment should be used to prevent infection and promote healing.
