Answers:

Jenny-

Use cool rags and wrap them before wrapping a second time add a baking soda paste to the burn - and let is harden- (baking soda and some water and make a thick paste)
rinse in cool water - take motrin for swelling -
if it's not better tomorrow go see your MD - I'd wrap them in cool wraps not just soak and elevate your legs -
