Question:

What are the do's and dont's of burns?

the precautions to be taken


Answers:

Do not cover with butter or other greasy type substance. This holds heat in. Put in cool water (not ice water) to relieve pain, and literally stop the cooking of the skin. Loosely cover with a clean dry bandage or gauze, and change daily. If a blister forms, do not break it. The blister will offer some protection for the healing skin underneath. If burned area is larger than a silver dollar, it needs a doctor's care.
