First Aid tips for burns.
26 Jan, 2016 3:52 PM
Most minor burns will heal on their own only if your carry out the right first aid and home treatment to relieve your symptoms and promote healing.
For common scalds due to contact with hot food or liquids, immediately hold under cool running water or apply a cold, wet towel until the pain subsides. Cover any small blisters with a loose bandage.
If burns are on the face, hands or if they're larger than 1/4 inch, use first-aid measures while you arrange for an evaluation by your doctor.
