Detailed explanation-1: -Cool the burn under cold running water immediately and for at least 20 minutes. If necessary, call 999 while you are cooling the burn. Continue to cool the burn until the ambulance arrives.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immediately immerse the burn in cool tap water or apply cold, wet compresses. Do this for about 10 minutes or until the pain subsides. Apply petroleum jelly two to three times daily. Do not apply ointments, toothpaste or butter to the burn, as these may cause an infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hold the area under cool (not cold) running water for about 10 minutes. If the burn is on the face, apply a cool, wet cloth until the pain eases. For a mouth burn from hot food or drink, put a piece of ice in the mouth for a few minutes. Remove rings or other tight items from the burned area.
