For patients with acute burns, immediately put out the fire source and take off the burning clothes at the scene. If the burn is not very severe and occurs in the limbs, try to give cold treatment. The easiest way to give cold treatment is to turn on the tap water and let the injured area Rinse with cold water under tap water until the pain is relieved or relieved. No special treatment is required for patients with first-degree burns. If the burning sensation is severe, a layer of oily ointment or the like can be applied. If it is a small area of second-degree superficial second-degree burns, if the blister skin is intact, it must be preserved, because the blister skin has the effect of protecting the wound, promoting healing and relieving pain. You can use a sterile syringe to extract the liquid inside the blister, and then disinfect and bandage it. If the blister skin falls off and the wound is not infected, oil gauze can be given for bandaging. It is not necessary to change dressing frequently, because the epithelium of the wound is easily damaged. If the wound is infected, change dressing frequently. At the same time, remove purulent secretions on the surface and keep the wound clean. Most superficial second-degree burns can heal. For patients with deep second-degree burns or third-degree burns, they should go to the hospital for surgical treatment in time.
