1. First aid measures When your baby is burned, first aid should be given immediately. Bandaging the wound is the most basic first aid measure. You can apply cold water or ice to the injured area to reduce pain and swelling. If the burn area is large or severe, you should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. 2. Determine the degree of burns. While performing first aid, you also need to judge the degree of burns on your baby. Mild burns usually only cause redness, swelling and slight pain on the skin, and can be washed with water and then applied with ointment. Moderate burns can cause skin blistering, edema, and severe pain, requiring hospital treatment. Severe burns can cause skin tissue necrosis and deep tissue damage.
