Patient's question:
My daughter is over one year old this year and has just learned to walk. During lunch today, some food accidentally spilled onto her hand. I quickly applied some toothpaste to her hand, but soon some small bubbles appeared on her hand. What should I do about the blisters from the minor burn?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child is over a year old and has suffered a burn. There are blisters, so it's important to apply a burn ointment called Jing Wan Hong promptly and keep the area dry. In these days, the diet should also be light. First, disinfect with iodine before applying the burn ointment. For minor burns, you can handle them yourself, and they will heal within a few days. If the burn is severe, you should go to the hospital for timely treatment and disinfection. Additionally, after a burn, the first step is to cool it down with cool water. Do not use toothpaste.
