What should I do immediately after a burn injury?

To minimize the pain, and if it’s a localized burn:

  • Run cool water over it – but not cold water or ice
  • Use cool compresses if they feel good
  • Keep it open to the air. That means don’t use any ointments or wrap it in bandages. You want the area to cool as quickly as possible.
  • Call a doctor immediately

What are the signs of a burn injury?

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Blisters
  • Whitened skin
  • Numbness to touch
  • Headache
  • Fever
Should I see a doctor if it’s just a minor burn?

If the accident was serious, see a doctor to check for unseen injuries.

  • A burn may be deeper than at first appears
  • Infection could be starting
  • You may be in shock and not realize it

See a doctor if you’re in pain, or showing signs of infection such as:

  • Swelling
  • Pus
  • Red streaks around the burn

When we’re in a state of shock we’re often unable to make sound judgments. So protect yourself and see a doctor.
