Patient's question:
My sister-in-law's face was scalded by soy milk for a day. It's very serious. The burn is third-degree, and she is currently in the intensive care unit. The baby is very pitiful. I'm very anxious about her condition. Could anyone please tell me what to eat for a burn?Doctor's answer:
Hello. In the early stages of a burn, the wound needs proper treatment. The wound requires regular disinfection and anti-infection treatment. If it is a third-degree burn, it may leave scars or require skin grafting. Then, nutrition should be strengthened. A high-protein diet, including meat, eggs, and dairy products, should be consumed. Light, spicy, and irritating foods should not be eaten. Especially dark-colored foods should not be consumed, such as soy sauce, as they can cause melanin to precipitate. Scars cannot be eliminated.
