Drink plenty of fluids, preferably acidified, take protein foods - this menu will allow you to regenerate damaged tissues faster.
Usually a simple burn goes away within 14 days.
After the burn, the bubble swollen, what should I do if the burn cavity is filled with purulent fluid? In such a situation, you should immediately see a doctor. Only he will prescribe the correct treatment, perhaps the burn will have to be opened surgically.
If minor surgery cannot be avoided, you will have to go to dressings, or maybe lie down a bit in the hospital under the supervision of doctors.
How long will it take before a burn heals?
He usually heals in 3 stages. What to do with a blister from a burn on each of them?
1. Purulent necrotic
The contents of the blister cloudy over time, sometimes pus appears in it. The tissues of the affected area are affected and may turn red. The bubble can greatly increase in volume. And if the burst bubble burst, what to do in such a situation?
You should rinse the place with an antiseptic solution - this is necessary to avoid further infection.
Next, dry the treatment area with a sterile cloth.
After that, the wound is treated with oily ointment.
In conclusion, you need a sterile dressing, which should not be too tight.
But it’s better that way than a situation in which the bubble accumulates pus, but does not burst. With this set of circumstances, the bubble must be opened surgically, otherwise you can get tissue necrosis, with further amputation of part of the limb.
2. Granulation
At this stage, wound healing and the formation of new cells occur. You, in turn, should not allow a return to the first stage.
To do this, you just need to get rid of the bandage, since the skin must breathe in order to recover faster. You can continue to use the cream. But instead of a bandage, a patch is enough, if you go outside, use only cream at home.
3. Epithelization
Tissues are finally restored, a small scar remains at the burn site, the use of 1% hydrocortisone ointment will help smooth it.
If a bubble does not pass from a burn for a long time, what to do, only a doctor can tell in such a situation. As a rule, such phenomena are treated only in the hospital, with the help of antibiotics and other agents that enhance regeneration.
