Patient's question:
I was playing with my brother at home when I accidentally got scalded by boiling water. There are now large blisters, and I have also gone to the hospital and used some medication, but it hasn't improved much. What medicine can heal it the fastest? What medicine should be used for scalds?Doctor's answer:
Burns are common adverse events in daily life and can be classified into three degrees clinically. First-degree burns, known as erythema burns, are characterized by local redness and hyperalgesia. They can be prevented from further injury by maintaining local cleanliness and applying burn ointment. More severe second-degree burns should have the fluid drained from blisters under strict sterilization, followed by the application of burn ointment and the appropriate use of antibiotics if necessary.
