Answers:
We are in the same boat at the moment, I look like a tomato right now and just asked a question about sunburns and that's how I found your question!. I had trouble sleeping last night and this is what I did!. It worked for me so you should try it!.

Slather the sunburned areas of your body with as much of any available lotion (liquid sunblock will do) as possible!. It's okay if it makes your skin sort of oily, you won't break out since your skin's natural oils are dried up due to the sun exposure!.

Then just take a lot of medicine, stuff that causes drowsiness if it's around!. I didn't have any PM medicine last night so I just took 3 advil and it worked for me!.

I really hope you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The main thing is to try and cool the burns down, so try having a long shower or a bath!. This should help quite a bit!. Next, try squeezing a tomato over the burns - don't ask, but it helps!

To relieve the pain, try taking paracetamol (acetaminophen in USA)!. Drink enough water to replace fluid lost through the burns and wet some towels before placing them over the burns as these will cool them down!.

Indications of medical treatment would include severe burns that cover >15% of the body, dehydration, fever or extreme pain!. If you are concerned about the previous symptoms, make an appointmentto see your GP (family doctor) or go to hospital (ER)!.

Noxzema if you have it, but my grandmother insisted i smell like a darned pickle - she would wet a rag with vinegar and put it on my sunburns!. i stank to high heaven but it took the heat out of it!. if you use a lotion avoid any with a strong scent - they tend to sting if you have an open crack in your sunburn!. get well and try to get some rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can you get ice cubes!. If so rub ice gently over burned areas!. This will give you some immediate relief and may help to prevent some skin damage!. Of course the quicker the better and some time has already passed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
