1. First degree burn

Burns caused by water or fire can be divided into first-degree burns (erythematous, the skin becomes red, and there is a burning and stinging sensation), second-degree burns (blistering, blisters appear on the affected area), and third-degree burns (necrotic, skin peeling off). For mild burns on a small local area, you can treat it at home. After cleaning the wound, you can apply Jing Wanhong, Meibo moisturizing burn ointment, etc. For large-area burns, it is advisable to send to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

The injured area should be immediately immersed in cold water for "cooling treatment", which has the effects of cooling, reducing residual heat damage, reducing swelling, relieving pain, and preventing blistering. If ice cubes are available, applying them to the injured area will have better effects. "Cooling down" for about 30 minutes can completely relieve the pain. Then apply egg white, balm or burn ointment to the burned area, and it will heal itself in 3 to 5 days.

The injured area should be immediately soaked in cold water to cool down. It can reduce the damage to the skin caused by high temperature and the swelling of the skin, and can relieve pain and prevent blistering. If you have ice cubes,

It should be noted that this "cooling treatment" must be performed immediately after burns and scalds. If you soak in cold water 5 minutes later, it can only have an analgesic effect but cannot guarantee that blisters will not occur, because the residual heat from the burns within these 5 minutes will continue to damage the skin. If the burned area is not on the hands or feet and it is not possible to soak the injured area in water for "cooling treatment", you can wrap the injured area with a towel and then pour water on the towel. Applying ice may be more effective.

2. Second degree burns

Treatment is mainly aimed at anti-infection, analgesia and promoting epithelial tissue healing. After routine debridement, the wound surface and surrounding skin were disinfected with iodine cotton balls and then wiped clean with saline cotton balls. The wound surface was coated with gauze soaked in Kangfuxin solution, covered with oil gauze, and bandaged with sterile gauze and bandages. Using Kangfuxin Liquid on burn wounds can reduce pain, shorten healing time, and cause slight pigmentation after healing. It is easy to use, moderately priced, and easily accepted by patients, which is of great significance for clinical treatment.

3. Third degree burns

For third-degree burns, the patient should be immediately bandaged with a clean sheet or clothing to avoid contamination and further injury. Do not apply medication to the wound surface, keep it clean, and send to the hospital quickly for infusion or bandaging treatment.

4. Apply ginger juice

Since ginger has the effect of relieving pain and swelling, when you accidentally get scalded, you can peel the ginger with a knife, then wrap it with gauze and crush it, apply the crushed ginger juice to the scalded area, then clean the ginger powder on the gauze, gently wrap it with gauze, and pour ginger juice on it from time to time, and it will get better in two or three days.

Early first aid after burns is very important, and as a parent it is very necessary to understand some first aid knowledge after burns.

After a child is scalded, do not apply soy sauce, vinegar, alkali, toothpaste or gentian violet to the injured area. This method is unscientific. These things will irritate the wound and will not do much to alleviate the injuries of the victim. It will bring unnecessary trouble to the doctor's subsequent treatment and aggravate the severity of the injury. The safest way is to rinse the burn area with plenty of clean water to clean the bacteria, dust and other harmful substances in the wound. You can apply some burn medicine and quickly send to the hospital for further anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and fluid replacement treatment.

How to prevent burns

When moving the kettle from the fire, you should wear gloves when handling hot oil and use cloth pads to prevent direct burns. The boiling water should be placed where it is not easily touched.

When the children are cooking, parents should not play around to avoid being scalded by splashing oil. When learning to cook, pay attention and don't drop oil into the hot oil, otherwise the oil will splash out and burn you.

Oil is flammable and will burn at high temperatures. When cooking, prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire. If a fire breaks out in the oil, do not panic but cover it with a lid as soon as possible. Move the oil pan down and turn off the fire.

Electric irons, electric heaters and other heating appliances at home can cause burns. You should be especially careful when using them and avoid touching them casually.
