Re: Burns
Hey hun, hope ur feeling better
I have epilepsy and a few years back i had a jerk -muscles start going a little mental and an entire pot of boiling namkeen tea landed on my chest. My mum was running around with toothpaste and my aunt saying cold water. my sis was there and she is doc and she told them both ideas were wrong! my mum still smothered toothpaste on me and am afraid to say the tooth paste made it worse and when i went to hospital they couldnt clean the burn bcoz toothpaste had melted into the wound.
was in bed for a few months due to that. I was told in hospital that because of the toothpaste i will have a scar as it had sunk into the layers of my skin and cold water also reacts to the burn. they said to apply a burn cream to keep it soft and prevent infection by covering it with a dressing! NOT cotton wool that will stick to it badly
A word of adice guys buy antiseptic dressing and burn cream . the last thing u wanna do when something like that happens is to improvise!! Trust me been through it!
