i burnt my hand a few hours ago when the lid popped on my steam cleaner.?

Question

The lid popped under my hand and the steam burnt most of my hand there is no blistering just redness but pain is getting worse despite cold compress and ice etc any advice or helpful hints to ease pain

i have had compress and ice on it for few hours

Answer 1

Take an oral pain medication, like advil, stop with the cold compress, and allow the area to warm to room temp. Keep the area from getting bumped, but let it air.

Answer 2

You have to keep the ice on for a long time.

You'll feel your hand getting colder and colder, which will hurt, but if you want to stop the reaction you've got to keep it cold for a long time - it a bucket of ice water. I burned the end of my finger and I had to ice it for half an hour.

Answer 3

You may take some Acetaminophin (Tylenol) for the pain (if you are not allergic to it), but if the cool compresses are not effective, then you need to see a doctor. A tetanus shot may also be in order.

Answer 4

you're high quality, basically turn it on and leave it on for extra or less ten minutes before you employ it. The popping noises are from the water you used to bathe it off, it's going to pass away because it heats up.

Answer 5

run it under cold water and then put salt on it it will relive the pain and keep the spot from becoming a permanent scar

Answer 6

if you have some burn relief cream/ointment, that should help....cortisone to cut down on inflammation, which is probably what is causing the pain. If it's really bad, obviously you may want to make a trip to the hospital

Answer 7

Hold it under ice cold water and some oral pain relief, .......and some time off from work.

Answer 8

put a tooth paste on burnt area for immidiate reliefe.
