Patient's question:
My daughter is one and a half years old. She was scalded by boiling water on her chest, and after the burn formed a scab, it was almost ready to fall off but still needed a little more time. Upon closer inspection, there were still some white patches that hadn't fully healed. I would like to ask how to handle the situation after the scab falls off.Doctor's answer:
Dear parent friend, hello, it is a great pleasure to answer for you. The child's wound has formed a scab, the scab has fallen off, and there is still a little wound that has not healed well. It is necessary to perform debridement and dressing, and to change the dressing frequently until the wound is completely healed. It is essential to maintain comprehensive cleanliness and dryness of the local area to prevent infection. You should also strengthen the child's nutrition to promote wound healing. Vitamin C supplements can also be added.
