What to do if you burn yourself with moxibustion

Moxibustion burns are usually small in burn area, belonging to mild burns, the main treatment methods include timely cold therapy, wound treatment, analgesia, anti-infection, etc., and intravenous rehydration if necessary. 1. Timely cold therapy: can quickly cool down the temperature, to avoid further deepening of scald, and can reduce pain, reduce the scalded parts of oozing and edema. Commonly used methods are cold water rinsing or wet compresses, soaking the scalded area for at least half an hour. 2. Wound treatment: If the degree of burns is light, no blister formation, wound disinfection and cleaning can be, keep the scalded parts of the skin clean, within a week can be healed. If blisters are formed, the blisters should be retained when they are small and wait for self-absorption, and when the blisters are large, the blisters can be retained to extract the fluid inside the blisters and then bandaged. 3. Analgesia, anti-infection: if the pain is obvious, give sedative and analgesic (such as oral ibuprofen, intramuscular injection of aminotriol, etc.). In order to avoid wound infection affecting healing, anti-infection treatment is often given. Antibiotics often use three generations of cephalosporins and aminoglycosides (such as ceftazidime, streptomycin, etc.) Scald wounds are highly susceptible to infection, and should be treated promptly after being scalded to avoid adverse consequences.
