pediatric burn care

Pediatric burn care involves promptly assessing the burn's severity, cooling the area to reduce damage, and cleaning the wound to prevent infection. For minor burns, applying topical dressings and pain relief is often sufficient. More serious burns may require hospitalization, advanced wound care, and sometimes surgery or skin grafts. Ensuring the child stays hydrated and managing pain effectively are important. Ongoing monitoring for signs of infection or complications is crucial for recovery. The goal is to promote healing, minimize scarring, and support the child's overall well-being throughout recovery.
