Question
How should one treat blisters that form on a child’s burn?
Answer
If a one-year-old child gets burned and blisters appear, it is important to first disinfect the area with iodine solution and then apply an appropriate burn ointment, such as Jingwanhong. Keep the wound dry and choose light, easy-to-digest foods for the diet. Do not use toothpaste for treating the wound. Minor burns usually heal on their own within a few days, but in severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. After a burn, cooling the affected area is the first step, which involves rinsing the wound with cold water and avoiding toothpaste.
