Patient's question:
My child had a burn on their arm, and at that time, topical medication was applied for treatment for a period of time. Now that the wound has healed, there is a sensation of itching, which feels very uncomfortable. Could you please advise on the moist dressing method after a burn?Doctor's answer:
Burns and scalds should be rinsed with cold water for half an hour. After half an hour, apply Meibao burn and scald ointment to the affected area, and then continue with intermittent cold compressions. If it is severe, consult a burn specialist for further treatment. Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, avoid exposure to wind, and eat less spicy and irritating, overly greasy food. The above suggestions are for reference only. Specific diagnosis and treatment must be sought promptly at a formal hospital under the guidance of experts.
