Patient's question:
My nephew was very active early in the morning because he was too mischievous. He kept walking around and accidentally spilled the just-boiled hot water. Could you please tell me the best way to treat burns?Doctor's answer:
After a burn, wound treatment is relatively complex and requires different methods based on the size, location, and depth of the wound. For example, some ointments can be used for dressing, or surgical skin grafting can be performed. No single method is suitable for all wounds. Therefore, it is recommended to seek treatment for burns at a local standard public hospital's burn department. It is important to avoid infection. When a patient is burned, they can perform some simple treatments at home before going to the hospital for further treatment.
