    Use cold running water (tap water is sufficient) to irrigate the wound. The goal is to cool down and reduce heat damage. But don't use ice cubes, as it can lead to worsening of local pain or the danger of hypothermia or even shock.

    After enough time, gently remove the clothes from the affected area. Timely removal of clothes can avoid continuous damage of residual heat, and when it is difficult to take off, you can use scissors to cut the clothes. However, if the clothing is already heavily adhered to, do not take it off hard, otherwise it may be torn off along with the belt meat.

    When the child is burned, the first thing should be quickly cooled, rinse the scalded part with running cold water, if it is some inconvenient to flush the part, you can use a wet towel to alternately cool down the child and reduce the degree of injury. It can be applied locally with edible oil or safflower oil, all kinds of scald cream, no need to bandage. Second-degree burns should not cut off the epidermis of the blisters, the epidermis should be retained as much as possible, and after disinfection, local edible oil or safflower oil, various scald ointments, can be bandaged.

    The temperature of the water must not be too cold, and it is resolutely not possible to use ice and ice water to cool down, which will seriously damage the ** and affect the healing speed of the wound. In the same way, you can't use too fast water. There was once a mother who was too anxious and the faucet was turned on too much, and the high-speed running water broke the blisters on the **, aggravating the injury.

    Appliances that are easy to heat at home, such as electric heaters, electric irons, and other household appliances, should not be touched by children during use to prevent burns.

    If it is only a slight first-degree burn or soup injury, we can also use the medicine directly. After cooling, you can apply burn ointment to the wound, if you don't have a spare ointment at home, you can use some daily necessities around you instead. To reduce pain, soap can be applied, or baking soda can be used topically, and timely heat dissipation can reduce the severity of pain or burns.

    until the wound is painless. Then apply comfrey oil or burn ointment. If there is redness, swelling and blisters on the burned area, parents should cover the wound with clean clothes (do not break the blisters) and rush to the hospital**.

    The basic treatment process of the child being burned: flushing, taking off, soaking, covering, and sending.

    Flush: Immediately after the child is burned, flush the affected area with running cold water for 15 to 30 minutes! The goal is to remove the heat from the burned area as soon as possible and reduce tissue damage!

    Precautions: Cold water means water that is about the same temperature as room temperature, never use ice water; The flow of water should be moderate; If the burn is on the face and it is not easy to rinse, apply a cold compress (not ice) to a towel soaked in cold water.

    Take off: After rinsing with cold water and the child's pain is reduced, gently take off the clothes in the scalded area, and cut it with scissors if it is inconvenient.

    Precautions: The action must be gentle, because sometimes the clothes will stick to the child's **, and it is easy to break the blisters if you forcibly take them off, and even tear off a piece of flesh and skin, aggravating the injury.

    If adhesions have already occurred, keep the adhesions and remove only the surrounding clothing.

    Soaking: If it is only a small area of burns, soak it in a basin of cold water for about half an hour to relieve pain and stabilize the child's mood.

    Precautions: If the child's scald area is relatively large, do not soak it for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to body temperature loss, and do not apply anything to the child's scald area such as soy sauce, egg white, toothpaste, etc., so as not to cause infection.

    Cover: Gently cover the burned area with a piece of sterile gauze (a clean cleaning towel can also be substituted).

    It is forbidden to use hairy, flocculent things, because these things can easily adhere to the wound.

    Send: After the above four steps, you can send it to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

    Keep warm during the hospital and still don't apply anything.
