![]() Treatment for Burns and Scalds A dose of Arnica-200 should be immediately given to counter shock. This may be followed by a dose of Aconite 200 if the victim seems unduly frightened. Thereafter, Cantharis 30 or Causticum 30 should be given every 10-15 minutes to relieve pain. The medicine should be discontinued once considerable pain-relief has been obtained but can be restarted if pain returns. As external treatment, the affected part should be kept immersed in a bowl or bucket containing cold water to which a few drops of Urtica urens or Hypericum tincture can be added. If that is not possible, cold compresses of Urtica urens or Hypericum lotion should be applied repeatedly till burning and pains lessen. The person should be encouraged to consume a lot of fluids e.g., water with sugar and salt. It is done with a view to replenish lost fluids. Finally, the affected area should be dressed, using Urtica urens or Hypericum lotion, taking aseptic precautions. If there is any blister, this should never be punctured or broken because they afford a sterile covering to the affected area. This article is a stub. You can enrich by adding more information to it.
