Treatments for First degree burns!

Treatment for first-degree burn: Specific treatment for a first-degree burn will be determined by your child's physician, based on the following:
  • your child's age, overall health, and medical history
  • extent of the burn
  • location of the burn
  • cause of the burn
  • your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
  • your opinion or preference
First-degree burns usually heal on their own within a week. Treatment may depend on the severity of the burn and may include the following:
  • cold compresses
  • lotion or ointments
  • acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain
First-degree burns are usually not bandaged. Consult your child's physician for additional treatment for first-degree burns
