Patient's question:
What should be done if a child gets burned? Our neighbor's child is very mischievous. When he was in kindergarten, he got burned by food in the school canteen. What first aid measures can be taken after the burn?Doctor's answer:
Once scalded by boiling water, steam, hot oil, etc., immediately rinse with cold water for more than 15 minutes to lower the local temperature, reduce further damage to the wound, and relieve pain, then seek medical advice. If blisters form, they can be left untreated. For blisters the size of soybeans, if the wound surface is also shallow, can be used to incise the blister. To avoid infection, it is best to seek further treatment at the hospital.
