A new generation of burn excipients

  One or two-year-old children are particularly curious about the outside world, born calves are not afraid of tigers, two small feet can walk, everything wants to explore. At this stage, parents should be especially careful to prevent accidental burns.  After a child is scalded, change the medicine to reduce the inflammation of the wound and avoid deepening the skin damage. But changing the medicine is a very painful thing for the child. For parents, it is a heartbreaking experience. In foreign countries, medications are often changed under general anesthesia. Parents in China are more resistant to this general anesthesia.  The practice is as follows: 1, rinse with cool water for 20 minutes can reduce tissue damage 2, the child burns area of 5% or less, not including the hands or face can not need to be hospitalized.  3.The first debridement can be done with intramuscular or oral painkillers.  4.First put a few drops of local anesthetic on the scald wound, disinfect with diluted iodophor, and cut off the upper skin of the broken blister.  5, the traditional excipient is an antibacterial containing silver sulfadiazine. This ointment, may cause local irritation, rash, fever, serum sickness-like reactions and other allergic reactions. There is also the possibility of partial absorption, thrombocytopenia, anemia, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The most important thing is that the child suffers from the need to change the medication frequently.  There are many kinds of new generation excipients, all of which contain silver ions and have strong absorption properties. Silver ions are sterilizing, but they are not excessively absorbed by the body. The excipients absorb the wound secretions at the same time. The biggest benefit to children, parents and doctors is that the excipients can be left on the wound for a week or two. The epithelium of a typical second-degree burn heals almost completely in two weeks. This means that the child does not have to change the dressing repeatedly.
