How to deal with oil burns

Accidents are everywhere in life. What we can do is to learn to deal with unexpected things as much as possible. For example, when cooking, it is easy to get burned by oil, so how do you deal with sugar? Don't listen to some folk remedies. Many people use soy sauce or toothpaste. This has no scientific basis and may backfire. You might as well learn it.

Rinse the wound with tap water. Whether it is a scald caused by boiling water or steam, you should first lower the temperature of the scalded skin to reduce further damage to the scalded area. At the same time, flushing with water can also reduce pain. If the wound is not broken, soak it for about 10 minutes. If the wound has broken, do not soak it again to avoid infection. If the burn area is too large, soak the entire body in the bathtub. You can also use a towel dipped in water to apply to areas that cannot be washed with water.

Do not take off your clothes in a hurry. When the burn is in an area covered by clothes, do not take off your clothes in a hurry to avoid tearing the blisters caused by the burn. You can rinse with water to cool down first, and then carefully remove the clothes.

Deal with blisters correctly. If there are blisters on the burn site, whether to break them or not depends on the specific situation. Generally, do not break them to avoid leaving scars. However, sometimes large blisters or blisters located at joints that are more easily broken need to be broken with a sterilized needle. If the blisters have already broken, use a sterilized cotton swab to wipe off the liquid around the blisters.

Use gauze to bandage the burn. First, apply some ointment on the burn, and then bandage it with clean gauze. After two days, remove the gauze and check the wound. If there is improvement, continue to apply some ointment and then bandage it again. Generally, burns can heal within two weeks, but if the wound is found to be infected, you should seek medical treatment immediately.

Protect the wound well, avoid direct sunlight on the burned area, do not let the bandaged wound come into contact with water, and do not move the burned area too much to avoid friction between the wound and the gauze, which will increase the healing time of the wound.

How to deal with third-degree burns: When the burn is too severe, if it reaches third-degree burns, it should be covered or exposed with clean gauze first, and then quickly sent to the hospital for medical treatment. Do not apply medicine on the wound.

The above introduces how to deal with oil burns. I believe everyone has a thorough understanding of how to deal with this accident. We cannot prevent some accidents in life, but what we can do is to reduce the burden on our body after the accident and receive timely treatment, so as to protect the body to the greatest extent.
