Question
A 1-year-old baby has blisters on the palm and back of the hand after being scalded by a water dispenser. Some areas have already lost their skin! It’s now on the third day, and the blisters haven’t dried yet.
Answer
After a burn, it is necessary to apply a beauty burn ointment externally, and to avoid movement to prevent secondary infection. If there is excessive serous exudation in the area, it is still necessary to go to the hospital. The procedure is done under anesthesia, so there is no sensation during surgery. However, the child will experience some discomfort postoperatively, and activity will also need to be restricted. It’s challenging for children. A tube needs to be left in place, and it can only be removed when there are no abnormalities.
