The correct first aid for burns

After being burned or scalded, if you are on the spot, try to wash the wound repeatedly with clean water. Generally, wash for about 10-20 minutes, mainly to dissipate heat as much as possible. After washing, you must wipe off the moisture on the surface, wrap the wound with clean gauze or clean clothes, and then send it to the hospital for treatment immediately. After being sent to the hospital, the wound is normally disinfected first, and then apply scald ointment or vaseline gauze block for external application, and then wrap sterile clean dressing. If the burn is deep or large, tetanus antitoxin injections must be given, as well as additional fluids and antibiotics to prevent infection. If the burn is large and deep, second or third degree, hospitalization is necessary.
