What should you do if a child gets burned? How to treat it quickly?
After a child is burned, immediate cold therapy should be applied. Place the injured area under running water for rinsing or soak it in water. If tap water is not available, immerse the limb in well or river water. Cold therapy helps lower the regional temperature, alleviate pain at the wound site, prevent further damage from heat, and reduce swelling. The duration of cold therapy should be continued until the wound stops feeling severe pain, which is approximately half an hour.
