Question:
Answers:
Cold water and ice to stop the "cooking". Keep it clean and put on antibiotic ointment and a band-aide. Keep changing the band-aide daily, and keep using the antibiotic ointment until it's healed. If it isn't looking much better in a week, or starts looking decidedly worse take him to the doctor. And you can tell him "I told you so" for the next month. Lesson learned. (A parent can hope.)
Other Answers:
Run it under cold water; if there's redness or swelling some hydrocortisone cream might help.
ointment. mustard
Do you have some Ozonal, or any sort of unguent, like peneten or something. Is it blistered? You then would want to wrap it in a dry bandage with some burn ointment on it.
Make sure he puts cold water on it first (since it's a mild burn). Beyond that, I'm not a nurse, so I don't want to make things worse with a wrong suggestion. Hope it heals well.
Try Bactine Ointment Run it under cold water for about 20 minutes or untill the pain ease's, and then put some aloe vera on it, If it blisters try not to pop it as it can cause infections.
put ice on it and DONT RUB BUTTER on there like they use to in the old days! if its bad take him to the er
toothpaste
If you have some ALOE VERA PUT THAT ON IT, IT WILL TAKE THE BURN FEELING AWAY. OTHERWISE TRY ALOE VERA LOTIONS AND/OR ANY BURN CREAMS WITH ALOE IN IT.. HOPE HE FEELS BETTER.. YOU CAN ALSO WRAP HIS FINGER IN ICE TO KEEP IT COOL. ALSO TRY VINEGAR, IT WILL BURN BUT WILL ALSO COOL IT DOWN..
aloe vera or vitamin e capsules after it has been cleaned well then wrap it up, it will help it heal and soothe the painful feeling
Mix regular table salt or sea salt (it doesn't matter) in a cup of water. No need to measure.just make the solution strong to the taste. Have him soak his finger in it until it no longer burns. It works on even the worst burns.
Where there is salt bacteria cannot exist. It may take 30 minutes more or less.but it will no longer hurt to touch it etc. Talk to him or find a way to occupy his mind,it is painful in the beginning.but soon NO PAIN, also works for cuts,scratches etc.
