Some self help tips for burns

The best treatment for burns is localized cooling, and cool water flushing is the most practical and feasible method. The sooner the time of flushing, the better, even if the burn has caused epidermal detachment at that time, should also be cool water flushing, do not be afraid of infection and afraid of flushing. Flushing time can last about half an hour, to get away from the cold source after the pain has been significantly reduced. If you can not quickly approach the water source, you can also use ice, popsicles or even frozen pork kept in the refrigerator cold compress. If proper cold therapy measures are taken, local exudation can be significantly reduced and tissue cells that have not been completely destroyed can be saved. If this measure is taken only after arriving at the hospital, the best time for cold therapy has already been lost in most cases. For chemical burns caused by acids and alkalis, the early treatment is also to rinse with water, and this should be done with plenty of running water, without necessarily finding a neutralizing agent for such chemicals. Premature application of neutralizing agents can aggravate local tissue damage due to heat production from acid-base neutralization. Electrical burns can be divided into two categories, one is the arc-induced burns, the treatment method is the same as the treatment of general burns; the other is the human body and the electric current contact caused by burns, but also the real electrical burns, this type of injury is usually more serious, in the removal of the power supply should be immediately after the medical treatment.
