Patient's question:
Yesterday, in the community, there was a family where the parents were not at home. When the child was at home, an accident caused a fire, and the child was burned. It's not very serious. May I ask how to handle burns? Are there any good methods?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the principles of treating burns and scalds:1. Leave. Quickly move away from the heat source to avoid continuous damage, then dry the burned surface with dry paper or a dry cloth.
2. Cool. Apply cold treatment to the wound. If possible, apply lard to the entire burned surface; this can prevent "hot" substances from entering internally, leading to rapid recovery without leaving scars.
3. Send. After simple treatment, if you feel uncomfortable, you should take it to the hospital for further treatment. During this time, it is still recommended to pay close attention to the child's care to prevent infection from the burn.
