The first aid after scald should choose a reasonable treatment method according to the severity of scald. Scalds can be divided into first-degree burns (erythema and skin reddening), second-degree burns (blistering and blistering) and third-degree burns (necrosis and skin peeling).
First degree scald: rinse immediately with running water, that is, "cooling treatment". If it is inconvenient to wash, a cold towel can be used to reduce the degree of burns. The "cooling treatment" should last half an hour. Ice is not recommended to prevent frostbite. If you want to use ice, it is recommended to wrap it with clean and soft gauze and apply it to the affected area for no more than half an hour.
Second degree scald: after "cooling treatment", it is still local redness, fever and unbearable pain, and blisters appear on the injured part. Don't burst the bubble at this time, go to the hospital at once.
Third degree scald: the skin is black and necrotic, but the pain is not severe, because many nerves are damaged. At this time, we should avoid wound pollution and re-injury, do not rub drugs, keep it clean, and send it to the hospital quickly.
Prevent burns:
In daily life, we should pay attention to the fact that boiled water and hot soup should be placed at a height that children can't reach, so as not to accidentally knock it over; The bath water should be cold water first, then hot water. If you use a shower to adjust the water temperature, you should avoid children's contact to avoid accidents.
Children are best taken care of by young parents. Old people are slow to move and slow to respond, and accidents often occur. Need to be reminded, don't listen to folk remedies, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment.
According to the different conditions of blisters, the treatment methods are also different. Whether you can absorb or puncture blisters by yourself requires professional and correct advice and treatment from burn doctors. Never handle it without authorization.
