1. Cold compress: Place a towel in cold water or the refrigerator, then remove and wring it out until it no longer drips. Apply it to the sunburned skin. As the moisture evaporates, it produces a cooling effect that helps control sunburn and relieve pain.
2. Topical medication: Apply aloe vera gel, which has soothing and anti-allergic properties. It forms a protective layer on sunburned skin and helps alleviate discomfort after sunburn.
3. Oral medication: Under medical supervision, antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine maleate tablets or cetirizine hydrochloride capsules may be taken for anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic treatment.
