You need to apply external burn ointment and drink some anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection
If these burns occur, first of all, don’t panic, and don’t rush to take off thin clothes such as undershirts and stockings. Clothes like these should be rinsed immediately with cold water. After cooling down, carefully take off your personal clothes to avoid tearing blisters formed after burns. The purpose of cold water flushing is to relieve pain, reduce oozing and swelling, and thereby avoid or reduce blister formation. The flushing time should be about half an hour or more, until you feel no pain when you stop flushing. Generally, the water temperature is about 20℃. Avoid using ice water to avoid frostbite. If the burn is on your fingers, you can also take a cold bath. Cold compresses can be used on areas such as the face that cannot be rinsed or bathed. After treating with cold water, dry the wound, then apply a thin layer of ointment such as blue hydrocarbon, green ointment, etc., and then bandage it appropriately for 1 to 2 days to prevent blisters. However, the face can only be exposed and does not need to be bandaged. If blisters form, you can use a sterilized syringe to aspirate them or cut a small hole to release the water. If the blisters have broken, wipe them dry with sterilized cotton balls to keep them dry and prevent the water from accumulating into lumps. If you burn 1 or 2 fingers, you can also use a simple method - immerse them in soy sauce, that is, use a small cup of soy sauce to infiltrate your fingers. It will relieve pain in about half an hour without causing blisters. Do not apply violet solution or mercurochrome after a burn, so as not to affect the observation of changes in the wound surface after the injury. Extensive or severe burns should be taken to the hospital immediately after general emergency home care.
For skin burns, pay attention to cleaning and drying the wound, and avoid immersing it in water after rinsing with cold water. The wound will dry after about 2 to 3 days. There is no need to apply medicine at this time. The scab will heal in about 10 days. If it does not heal by then, you should ask your doctor to see if the burn is deep or infected. Antibiotics are generally not used after burns. If the wound is still red, swollen and painful after 1 to 2 days, it is suspected of infection and can be treated under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unnecessary pain.
