💙 Bester EMS – Here When Seconds Matter

🔥 FIRST AID TIP: HOW TO TREAT BURNS 🔥
When accidents happen, quick and correct action can prevent further damage.

Here’s what to do:

1️⃣ Cool the burn
Run cool (not ice-cold) water over the area for 10–20 minutes.

2️⃣ Remove tight items
Gently remove rings, bracelets, or tight clothing before swelling begins.

3️⃣ Cover the burn
Use a clean, non-fluffy cloth or sterile dressing. Avoid cotton wool.

4️⃣ Do NOT apply home remedies
No butter, toothpaste, ice, or oils — these can worsen the burn.

5️⃣ Take mild pain relief (if needed)
Paracetamol or ibuprofen can help reduce pain.

6️⃣ Seek medical help
If the burn is large, deep, blistering, or on the face/hands/groin — call emergency services immediately.
