How to relieve the pain of burns? 7 quick pain relief methods

Burns may be accompanied by stinging pain, especially from incense ash or fireworks. Because they are accompanied by strong sparks, they are very irritating to the skin and the pain caused is even more severe.

At the same time, combine it with reasonable dietary guidance to help the wound heal and repair as quickly as possible, thereby essentially reducing the pain.

1. How to relieve the pain of burns

1. Rinse the injured area with cold water first, then soak the injured area in cold water for half an hour. Generally speaking, the earlier the soaking time and the lower the water temperature (not lower than 5℃ to avoid frostbite), the better the effect. However, if the wound has blistered and broken, do not soak it to prevent infection.

2. After the skin of hands or feet is scalded, immediately pour alcohol into a basin or bucket and immerse the injured area in the alcohol. This will relieve pain, reduce redness and prevent blistering. If soaked for 1 to 2 hours, the scalded skin can gradually return to normal. If the injured area is not in a location that is easily soaked, you can soak a piece of cotton wool in white wine, take it out and apply it to the injured area, and keep pouring wine on the cotton wool at any time to prevent it from drying out. Good results can be obtained even after several hours.

3. The treatment of burns mainly involves treating the wound surface, removing necrotic tissue, removing blisters, washing with hydrogen peroxide, and disinfecting with iodine. It is best to use Chinese medicine bandage therapy. If conditions do not allow, apply MEBO moist burn ointment or Jing Wanhong. The advantages of this method are: economical and quick in effect, anti-infection and anti-exudation, quick pain relief and prevention of scab, and no scars left after healing.

4. After the skin is scalded by oil or boiling water, you can apply Fengyoujing, Wanhua Oil or vegetable oil (such as sesame oil) directly to the wound. If the skin is not broken, the pain can usually be relieved within 5 minutes.

5. For mild burns, you can roast the dry tea leaves over fire until they are slightly charred, then grind them into powder, mix them with vegetable oil to make a paste, and apply it to the affected area to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

6. Use egg white, cooked honey or sesame oil, mix well and apply to the injured area, which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

7. Apply soy sauce, honey, lard, dog oil, or ginger juice on the injured area, which will be effective.

2. Avoid smoking, drinking and drinking tea after burns

The nicotine in cigarettes causes blood vessels to constrict, which is not conducive to the healing of skin wounds. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation. When there is an infection, alcohol should be avoided, especially in the early stages of massive protein exudation.

Burn patients have excessive fire poison in their bodies, so they should avoid spicy and hot foods that help fire, such as chili peppers, hot sauce, onions, pepper powder, etc. Otherwise, they will help fire and generate heat, and the patient will suffer from the disadvantage of fire poison attacking the heart after eating.

4. Avoid eating crude fiber and flatulence foods after burns

Common foods include bamboo shoots, hairy bamboo shoots, leeks, celery, pineapples, etc. These foods will cause bloating and affect digestion when the gastrointestinal function of the scalded person is low.

5. Avoid deep-frying, frying or roasting food after being scalded

Any fried or grilled food can cause indigestion and can cause fire. Such as fried pork chops, roast chicken, roast duck, pancakes, fried dough sticks, etc.
