Treatment of severe burns in children involves multiple steps:
- First Aid: Remove the child from the source of the burn, cool the burn with running water, and cover it with a clean cloth. - Medical Care: Hospitalization is often required for severe burns. Treatments may include intravenous fluids, pain management, wound care, and infection prevention. - Surgery: Some cases may require surgical interventions such as debridement (removal of dead tissue), skin grafts, and reconstructive surgery. - Rehabilitation: Long-term care involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support to aid in recovery and adaptation.
