Question
How to deal with a burned leg in a child?
Answer
Burns only damage the superficial layer of the skin, causing localized mild redness, swelling, and significant pain. Immediately remove the clothing and socks, then immerse the wound in cold water for half an hour, and apply sesame oil or vegetable oil to the wound. If the child has pathological jaundice, medical treatment should be sought. In addition to treating the basic disease, options such as phototherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, oral luminal and phenobarbital, or blood exchange therapy can be considered to reduce the concentration of serum bilirubin. The treatment method will be determined by the doctor.
