Simple Burn – Medications

Transcript

Medications given to treat simple burns usually just involve over the counter pain relievers to help with any pain that might be felt from the burn. Topical antibiotics are the types of ointments recommended to help with treatment. Treatment for simple burns does change based on whether chemicals or industrial materials are involved, because they require medical attention to ensure proper cleaning. Burns that include open wounds increase the risk of infection. If you have concerns about wound infection, you should speak with your doctor.
