Sunburn in children is a common problem that bothers both the baby and his parents.
Proper cooling
Thermal burn treatment involves first of all its cooling. But the main thing is not to overdo it: it is categorically contraindicated for you to apply frozen objects to the burn site. A sharp temperature drop can be fraught with vasospasm and an increase in internal body temperature. Also, the baby can simply catch a cold. It is necessary to use a shower at room temperature.
Refusal of kefir and cucumbers
Grandmothers' favorite folk remedies can really relieve pain. However, after they dry on the skin, you will feel tight. F But neither fermented milk products nor cucumbers have an anti-inflammatory effect. It is best to moisturize the burn area with plain cool water.
Do not grease burns
Discard oil for burns. Even the most beneficial oils clog the pores, which leads to a stop of heat transfer, which means the aggravation of the child's condition. This method can only provoke more blistering.
Do not pierce blisters
Blisters in no case need to be pierced, since they have a protective function of the body. The clear fluid inside the blister can be a serious problem when opening, as the wound can easily become infected.
