Question
If a child unfortunately suffers from a burn, with a small area and has already been rinsed with cold water, no blisters have appeared, but still feels worried, what are some quick methods for treating burns?
Answer
When a burn occurs, the first step is to immediately place the injured area under running tap water to quickly lower the temperature of the hot water and prevent further injury. It is generally recommended to rinse under running water for about half an hour. Afterward, you should go to the hospital for further treatment to effectively reduce the severity of the burn. If the burn only results in blisters and the blisters are not large, do not break them open yourself. First, disinfect the area with a disinfectant, and then immediately apply burn ointment.
