Explanation:

1.Cool Burn

Immerse in cool water for 10 or 15 minutes.

Use compresses if running water isn't available.

Don't apply ice. It can lower body temperature and cause further pain and damage.

Don't break blisters or apply butter or ointments, which can cause infection.

2. Protect Burn

Cover loosely with sterile, nonstick bandage and secure in place with gauze or tape.

3. Prevent Shock

Unless the person has a head, neck, or leg injury, or it would cause discomfort:

Lay the person flat.

Elevate feet about 12 inches.

Elevate burn area above heart level, if possible.

Cover the person with coat or blanket.

4. See a Doctor

The doctor can test burn severity, prescribe antibiotics and pain medications, and administer a tetanus shot, if needed.
