What should I do if a child's hand is burned and blisters?

　　Hand burns blister because the burn damages the skin tissue, increases capillary permeability, and causes exudation and accumulation of tissue fluid under the epidermis to form blisters. Managing a child's hand burn with blisters involves local cooling, cleaning the wound, disinfection, applying ointment, and dressing the wound. If any abnormalities occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed procedures are as follows:

　　1. Local Cooling: Immediately immerse the burned hand in cold water or rinse it with running cold water for more than 30 minutes to alleviate pain and reduce the burn area. If not feasible, intermittent cold compresses with a clean towel wrapped around an ice pack may be used.

　　2. Cleaning the Wound: Gently wipe the burned area with clean gauze or a towel, carefully drain the blister fluid without forceful squeezing to avoid damaging the protective skin layer. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection.

　　3. Disinfection: Apply iodophor locally to disinfect the burned area and prevent infection. Iodophor has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties that effectively kill bacteria and protect the wound from infection.

　　4. Applying Ointment: Apply burn ointment (e.g., Changchun Burn Ointment, Moist Burn Ointment, Jingwanhong Ointment) to the affected area to promote wound healing. The ointment forms a protective layer that reduces external irritation to the wound while providing essential nutrients and a moist environment to accelerate healing.

　　5. Dressing the Wound: Cover the burned area with sterile gauze to prevent contamination and infection. Maintain a moist wound environment and avoid excessive dryness. Monitor the wound closely; if signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or increased pain occur, seek medical attention promptly.

　　After a child's hand is burned, immediately remove the heat source to prevent further heating of the affected area and worsening of the injury. If clothing covers the burned area, carefully remove the clothing with scissors, taking care not to cut the skin.
