Patient's question:
Approximately the same as boiling water from the previous night, half a cup of scalding water, it was so hot that it peeled the skin from head to toe. I have already been hospitalized. At that time, cold water may not have been used to cool it down. It's said to be a second-degree burn. Is a child's second-degree burn serious?Doctor's answer:
Second-degree burns are still very serious. This type of burn is considered that the child may still have a superficial second-degree burn, which is a relatively common condition in childhood. In most cases, this condition in children is not serious. It is recommended that you use moist burn ointment to treat the child for several days, which is better. Alternatively, you can go to a regular professional hospital for detailed treatment and follow the advice of professional doctors for treatment.
