In daily life, burns are very common. Patients seen in clinic often pollute or even deepen wounds due to improper treatment. Let me introduce the early treatment of burns. Ordinary burns can start with cold therapy. The specific method is to wash the wound with plenty of water. The principle of irrigation is: 1. Irrigation should be done immediately after injury, and the sooner the better. 2, the cleaner the water, the better, tap water is also ok, and physiological saline is better. 3, the temperature should be appropriate, just use room temperature water in summer and autumn, and the water temperature in winter is about 10 degrees. 4, enough time, generally more than half an hour, subject to the pain after the wound comes out of the water. The advantages of cold therapy in time are: 1, relieving pain. 2. Take away the residual heat to prevent further damage. 3. Reduce local exudation and prevent excessive blisters. If there is no blister after cold therapy or only a single blister with a diameter of less than 1 cm is formed, the wound surface should be well protected, and scald ointment (such as Jingwanhong) should be applied externally to keep the wound surface elevated to avoid sagging, and it is not necessary to see a doctor. The wound healed in about 2 weeks, leaving no obvious scar. If there is obvious blister or blister rupture to form a wound or the wound is white and hard, it is recommended to go to the burn plastic surgery department of a regular hospital immediately. Don't apply any colored substances (such as toothpaste and soy sauce) before seeing a doctor. You can disinfect the wound with a colorless disinfectant with low irritation (such as 0. 1% bromogeramine) and protect the wound with clean cotton cloth (sterile gauze is better).
