Burning injury is a common problem, which can occur when working in the kitchen, with hot water or oil or any other accident. In such a situation, most people panic and apply ice, but according to doctors, this is a big mistake. The ice definitely gives a feeling of cooling the burning immediately, but it can cause more damage to the skin tissue. Famous doctor Agni Bose has shared the important aid related things on his Instagram handle, which everyone should know.
First of all it is important to know what should be the right first aid in the event of burning. Doctor Agni says that if someone’s hand or part of the body burns, then instead of applying ice, keep it under clean, cold and flowing water for 10 minutes. This reduces the heat on the surface of the skin gradually and the effect of irritation can also be mild. Cold water not only gives relief but also protects the skin from overdose.
