How Can Sunburn Be Treated?

If a child gets sunburned, the following steps can help:
1. Cool the Skin: Apply cool (not cold) compresses or give a cool bath.
2. Hydrate: Ensure the child drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
3. Moisturize: Use aloe vera or moisturizing creams to soothe the skin.
4. Pain Relief: Administer age-appropriate pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen if necessary.
5. Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the child out of the sun until the burn heals.
