Treatment depends on the burn severity and the size of the burn.
Minor burns
You can first degree burns and minor second degree burns at home, using self-care measures, such as cooling of the skin, and taking painkillers. Minor burns, lose a couple of days to several weeks.
Severe burns
Burns is considered a medical emergency and requires urgent medical treatment.
Seek emergency treatment for:
Burns, who are moderate, severe or widespread
Burns, hands, feet, groin, or face
Waiting for rescue units to arrive, proceed as follows:
Be sure to burn in the month of September has expired or been removed. If your clothes are on fire, do not let the person running - the only stoke the fire. Put out the flames with water, or wrap the person in a blanket or jacket and turn the person on the ground. Make sure the person is in contact with smoldering materials.
Make sure the burn victim is breathing. If breathing has stopped or if you suspect the person's airway is blocked, try to clear the airways and, if necessary, do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Cover the burned area dry, sterile bandage, if available, or a clean cloth. A sheet will do if the burned area is large, but do not use a blanket or towel, which may be fiber, which can be transmitted to burn.
Medication
Burn treatment in a hospital usually involves the following:
Assessment of burns and related conditions, such as inhalation injury. If you have not done, the clothes and jewelry are removed from the burned area.
For intravenous (IV) fluids. Doctors provide continuous fluid through a vein (intravenously) to prevent dehydration.
Drugs. Oral or IV antibiotics and pain medications given to reduce pain and prevent infection. The topical medication may also apply to the burned area to reduce pain and speed healing.
Products for wound care. Cleaned and burned copies of embedded clothing and other debris have been removed.
Protective bandages. Depending on the size and location of the burn site can be wrapped with bandages or dressings to protect skin, reduce pain and prevent loss of heat and moisture in the wound.
The skin graft. For burns that cover a large area of skin, a skin graft may be needed to help regenerate skin tissue and help prevent scarring of the healing process.
Surgery. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to close the wound, remove the dead tissue, or treatment-related complications.
Depending on the severity and size of the burn, you can refer to a facility or specialty burn care unit specializing in the treatment of burns.
Severe burns covering a smaller area can heal without major medical treatment, although they are capable of causing permanent scarring. Usually even severe burns heal like any other injury - forms a crust on the burned area, regenerates skin tissue and new skin develops in the injured area.
Second-degree burns can be taken at least two or three weeks to heal, the most serious burns may take longer. The rehabilitation may take at least one year and may include reconstructive surgery (plastic surgery), persistent ulcers and physical therapy to improve muscle strength and coordination.
