How to deal with boiling water burns

Boiling water burns should be treated promptly with cold water, and after cold treatment, local disinfection, treatment and, if necessary, surgery should be carried out in a specialized hospital. After being scalded by boiling water, the first time should be promptly detached from the heat source and urgently take cold treatment. Cold water should be used to flush the scalded area, paying attention to choosing the appropriate flow rate, and the flushing time should be maintained at about 15 minutes. After the cold treatment, the area should be disinfected in a specialized hospital, and burn creams, such as mupirocin and silver sulfadiazine, should be applied in a timely manner. If blisters occur on the scalded area, smaller blisters do not need to be punctured and should be properly protected. Larger blisters can be sterilized by a doctor, the fluid in them drawn out with a sterile syringe and bandaged. If the blister has ruptured and broken, it needs to be sterilized and bandaged, and care should be taken to keep the wound clean. If the burn is severe and large, debridement surgery and skin grafting will also be needed. After being scalded by boiling water, you should consult a doctor in time and be treated under the guidance of a professional physician, and do not take care of it without authorization, so as not to infect the wound and aggravate the condition.
