Cool the burn: Hold the affected area under cool (not cold) running water for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can apply a clean, cool, wet cloth. Avoid ice: Do not use ice, as it can cause further damage to the skin. Cover the burn: Use a sterile, non-stick bandage or clean cloth to cover the burn to protect it from infection. Pain relief: Administer age-appropriate pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to manage discomfort. Avoid breaking blisters: If blisters form, do not break them, as this increases the risk of infection.
