How do U get a burn to stop hurting?
Question:
Answers:
cold water is the best/only first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap and no less. NEVER ice OR vinegar OR milk OR butter OR green tea OR mustard OR toothpaste OR sunscreen OR semen OR vaseline OR tomatoes OR vanilla extract OR yogurt OR sour cream OR egg white OR egg yellow OR lavender oil OR cocoa butter OR salt OR tea bags OR potato OR shaving cream OR olive oil OR baking soda OR banana peel OR petroleum jelly OR whipped cream OR avocado OR bacon grease OR corn starch OR turmeric OR lemon juice OR curd OR pickle juice OR soy sauce OR urine OR talcum powder OR mashed strawberries OR exfoliating scrub OR mayonnaise OR peroxide OR bleach OR deep heat OR ketchup OR red grapes OR hairspray- not until the skin is fully healed!
ibuprofen or aspirin will help but large burns are often accompanied by stomach ulcers, so tylenol/panadol is best for pain if you are gonna tough it out. drink plenty of water or energy drinks that don't have caffeine (gatorade)
i would advise that you cover the burnt area with white soft paraffin (white petroleum) or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn. cling wrap alone is also ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain.
aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.

finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.
how bad of a burn?
there's a kind of burn gel that helps mild burns.
if it's 2nd degree that gel won't work, but you can put polysporin on it & wrap it in gauze.
contact with air will make it hurt more.
also, you may try elevating it above your heart if it's throbbing.
take some ibuprofen as well.
I assume you mean a physical burn.Mix baking soda and water together in a paste and apply liberally to the burn.It works for me.
cold water is the best treatment for a burn. You havent said how you got it, is it from hot water, oil, steam, sun? You also didnt say how long ago it happened. If its been more than 24 hours and is still bothering you, you should see a doctor. They can put a special wet dressing on it to ease the pain and minimise any scarring.
depends on it i would get brun crame and put on it if it is big call 911
If it's a sun burn try putting on plain yogurt, It's cool and cheap, then it gets warm, put on more.
Sunburn: Aloe Vera gel.
Burn: Run in under cold water for around 12 minutes, put some ice on it if it isn't numb still. ut some Aloe Vera getl on it, or use Baking Soda and water to make a pastee and put it on. Aloe Vera plants are even better. Kepp icing!
If it'sblisterinng or bloody, seek medical attention.If it is very big, call a doctor.
