Take a motrin (advil)--that will help pain & swelling!. Put on ointment & wrap!. You might want to sleep with it on a cool pack as well to help you get to sleep!. Just besure the pack is there to cool it not freeze the skin (put a layer of material between you & pack)!. It should be better in 24 hours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should never apply ice to a burn!. If you didn't get blistering you most likely have a 1st degree burn!.
Usually once you place it under cool water for 10 to 15 minutes you can wrap it!. I wouldn't put any ointment on either it should start feeling better in a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I just burned my hand the other day! I put ice on my burn for 15 minutes and after just kept it moisturized with aquaphor or neosporin!. At work I keep it covered in a non-stick bandage and take it off when I get home!. It's been almost a week and it's healing very well with no infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
