What are the emergency treatment methods for children's burns?

Nowadays, many parents find themselves too busy at work and cannot take good care of their children all the time. As a result, some children suffer burns due to their parents' negligence. Some parents are left with lifelong regrets because their children did not handle burns properly. So what are the emergency treatment methods for children's burns? Let me give you a scientific and complete explanation below!

After a burn, you should quickly use scissors to cut and peel off your clothes (including underwear and tight outerwear) and socks. Do not take them off forcefully to avoid breaking blisters or tearing off the burned skin, which increases the chance of infection.

Quickly put the scalded area into cold water or rinse with running tap water for half an hour to one hour. When it is hot, you can use ice water. This can relieve pain and reduce the severity of the burn.

Estimated wound size and burn severity:

1. Estimate the burned area: The size of a child's palm with five fingers together is 1% of the body. You can measure what percentage of the body the burned area occupies.

2. Observe the degree of burns: Burns (including scalds) are divided into degree I to degree III, and hot liquid burns are most common in degree I and degree II.

Ⅰ degree: The burned area is dry, painful, slightly swollen and red, without blisters.

Ⅱ degree: including superficial Ⅱ degree and deep Ⅱ degree:

Superficial II degree: local redness and swelling are obvious, blisters of varying sizes are formed, containing light yellow liquid, and after the blisters burst, the wound surface is red, the texture is soft, the temperature is high, severe pain, pain sensitivity,

The symptoms are most obvious in 1 to 2 days, and once infected during this period, the disease will turn into deep grade II. Deep II degree: local swelling, white or brownish-yellow epidermis, with small blisters. After removing the epidermis, the wound surface is slightly moist, slightly red or red and white, with a tough texture, dull sensation, and low temperature. It is most obvious 1 to 2 days after injury.

Through the above paragraphs and a brief introduction, I believe that parents should have a more scientific understanding of the emergency treatment of children's burns! Of course, I would like to explain again that once our children have an emergency burn, they must go to a professional hospital for emergency treatment. Never take it for granted to do some preliminary treatment activities by yourself. This will help the recovery of children's burns.
