Patient's question:
Son got accidentally burned by a boiling water two days ago while playing, and his foot turned red in a large area. At that time, I didn't know how to handle it and used some cold water. In the end, we took him to the hospital outpatient department. It has been two days now, and I see that his foot hasn't improved. I want to ask how to treat a burn on a child?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Your child's foot has been burned, but there are no obvious blisters or open wounds, indicating that the skin burn is not very severe. It was the right choice to use cold water to alleviate the pain at that time, as the skin burn is not serious. I suggest you don't overworry or be too anxious. There are only two days left, and it's impossible for the burn to heal completely so quickly.
