Question
How should one initially handle a child who has accidentally been burned?
Answer
When a child suffers a burn, the first priority is to immerse the injured area immediately in running cold water and use iodine to disinfect. If blisters form on the burn site, do not break them to prevent infection. Apply ice packs or cold towels to the wound to prevent the burn from spreading. After ensuring the injury is not worsening, quickly take the child to the hospital for professional treatment.
