How to treat burns faster

Minor burns can be quickly washed with cold water to cool down, and the wound surface can be kept clean and applied with appropriate treatment drugs, such as burn ointment, which will help to recover quickly. If it is a serious burn, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid infection or other complications.

After a burn, the affected area should be immediately rinsed with running cold water for 15-30 minutes to lower the skin temperature and relieve subsequent damage. For mild burns (such as redness, swelling, and unbroken blisters), after treatment, you can use compound sulfadiazine silver cream, Jingwanhong ointment, or apply a medical burn patch to cover the wound to accelerate healing and prevent infection. If the blister is large or damaged, do not puncture the blister at will. Use sterile gauze to protect it, and avoid contact between the wound and dirty water or bacteria. If it is a deep second-degree or third-degree burn (manifested by skin charring, necrosis, or loss of pain), it may involve damage to the deep tissue of the skin, and professional treatment such as debridement, suturing, skin grafting, or negative pressure therapy by a professional doctor is required.

During the recovery period, you should avoid high-fat or irritating foods and eat more foods rich in vitamin C and protein, such as kiwi, strawberry and tofu, to promote skin repair. It is very important to keep the wound clean, and you can change the dressing regularly as recommended by the doctor. Remember: If the burn area exceeds 5%, or occurs in special parts such as hands, face, joints, etc., you should seek medical treatment immediately without delay.
