Learning: Learn general first aid knowledge, including home first aid knowledge of burns; prepare a first aid kit at home and check and replenish items regularly; be a prepared parent and a safety conscious person. First Aid Once a burn occurs, whether it is a boiling water burn or a steam burn, the temperature of the scalded skin should be lowered first to reduce further damage to the scalded area, while flushing with water can also reduce pain. Immediately place the scalded area under running water to rinse or use a cool towel to apply a cold compress. If the scalded area is large, the injured person should immerse the entire body in a bathtub filled with cold water. Gauze or bandages can be loosely wrapped around the burn to protect the wound. If the wound is not open, soak for about 10 minutes. If the wound is already open, do not soak it again to avoid infection. It is forbidden to apply ice to the burn. Ice will damage the broken skin and cause the wound to deteriorate. Do not break the blister, otherwise it will leave a scar. Do not apply antibiotic ointment or grease casually to the wound either; these sticky substances can easily stain with dirt. Do not rush to take off clothes, when the burn is in a place covered with clothes, do not rush to take off clothes, so as not to tear the blisters after the burn, you can first rinse with water to cool down, and then carefully remove the clothes. When the scald is too serious, it should be covered with clean gauze or exposed when it reaches the third degree, and sent to the hospital quickly for treatment. Patients with second-degree burns should also go to the hospital if the area is larger than the palm of the hand, and professional treatment can avoid scarring. The scalded area should avoid direct sunlight, the bandaged wound should not touch water, and the scalded area should not move too much to avoid friction between the wound and the gauze, which will increase the healing time of the wound.
