Patient's question:
Just now, while I was cooking, I didn't pay attention and accidentally broke the hot water bottle. The hot water was freshly boiled. Then he started crying loudly. I turned around and noticed that he had several blisters on his hands and legs, all red.What should I do if the baby gets burned by hot water and gets blisters?

Hello! Burn injuries are generally classified into three degrees. First-degree burns only damage the surface of the skin. There is mild local swelling. No blisters. Significant pain. Second-degree burns refer to skin damage, local swelling and pain, as well as blisters of varying sizes. Third-degree burns affect the underlying tissue. Fat, muscle, and bone are damaged. It appears gray or reddish-brown. Based on the current condition. This is a single shallow second-degree burn. Immediate cold water flushing is required.
