burn wound care

Burn wound care involves cleaning the area gently with water, avoiding harsh substances, and covering it with a sterile dressing to prevent infection. For minor burns, pain relief like over-the-counter medication and moisturizers can help. Severe burns may require medical attention, including wound cleaning, specialized dressings, and possibly antibiotics or other treatments. Keeping the wound clean and moist promotes healing, while protecting it from further injury or contamination. Proper care reduces pain, prevents infection, and supports the recovery process, but deep or extensive burns should always be evaluated by healthcare professionals.
