burns treatment

Burn treatment varies based on the severity of the burn. For minor burns, cool the area with running water for about 10-20 minutes, then cover it with a clean, non-stick bandage. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with discomfort. For more severe burns, seek medical attention immediately. Do not apply ice, as it can worsen tissue damage. Healthcare providers may clean the burn, apply specialized dressings, and prescribe pain relief or antibiotics if infection is a concern. Hydration is important, and in severe cases, hospitalization may be required for advanced care and monitoring. Always prioritize wound care and follow-up.
