TREATMENT FOR BURNS

Definitely do not do any of these following things:

– Do not poke the blister.
– Do not use any oil or cream.
– Do not apply butter, fish sauce or toothpaste on the burn.
– Do not cover the burn until the temperature on the skin goes back to normal.

Step 1

Cool the skin with running water for approximately 15-20 minutes. If running water is not available, soak the burn in a bucket of water. If there isn’t a lot of water, wet two clean towels, and alternate applying them on the skin. In case water is not available, but there is ice, cover the ice in a towel and place it near the burns, about a few centimeters away. Do not apply ice directly on the burn. In case the skin is coming off after the treatment with water, take the victim to the hospital immediately.

Step 2

 

Cover the burns with nylon to avoid insects or dust that can cause infection.

Step 3

 

If the victim is in too much pain, apply ice to relieve the pain.
