Patient's question:
A few days ago, I was letting my child take a bath, and I stepped away for a moment to get something. As a result, my child's hand went into the water, and it immediately turned red from the heat. It really broke my heart. I want to know how to handle a child's burn?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you;After a child suffers a burn, they should immediately be rinsed with cold water. At least 10 minutes or more can constrict blood vessels and reduce pain. Rinse with cold water for at least 30 minutes. If the pain is unbearable, pain relievers can be used. However, it's important to disinfect and maintain local hygiene. Bandage the wound and take oral antibiotics. If this doesn't help, it's recommended to visit a hospital for examination.
