How to relieve pain after burns

1. When scalded, you should immediately open the water pipe nearby and rinse the scalded area with cold water. This can lower the temperature, relieve pain and prevent blistering.

2. If blisters have formed, you can use a sterilized injection needle or a fine needle to puncture the blisters first, and then apply light salt water or iodine to the wound to prevent bacteria from causing infection in the damaged wound.

3. It is best not to bandage the wound. The skin has already been damaged, and wrapping it too tightly will affect the healing of the wound.

4. If the injury is more serious and the skin is broken directly, exposing the subcutaneous tissue and the tender red flesh is visible, you should use a burn ointment with anti-inflammatory effect. After applying the medicine, pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound and make sure it does not come into contact with unclean things to prevent wound infection.

5. If the burn area is too large, or if it affects the face or other parts of the body, it is best to go to the hospital's burn department to avoid inflammation and disfigurement.

6. After rinsing, do not wipe your hands with a towel, but let it dry naturally. If it is just redness and it doesn't hurt much after washing, you can ignore it and it will heal after a while.

Things to note after burns:

1. Don’t touch hot things

First of all, you cannot touch hot things after being burned. After being burned, the part of the body is in a state of high temperature that cannot be reduced. If you touch hot things again, the injury will be aggravated. You should cool down first.

2. Do not cover the injured area

The scalded area is very painful and hot. If we cover it with something, it will generate very high temperature, making the injured area more painful, and it will also cause pus and even rot.

3. Don’t eat foods that can cause internal heat

First of all, eating spicy food will make us get inflamed. Not only that, we should not eat food that will make us get inflamed. After eating it, the inflamed area will fester.
