If it is a 2nd degree burn (blisters) cool water and a trip to the doctor for a med called silver sulphamide (misspelled)

Answer 2

burns hurt hon, the only way to PREVENT the pain is to prevent the burn. If you already have this painful burn, the best way to treat any burn is with ice. Ice pack the burn for twenty minutes every hour, after two hours or so, the pain will subside and as long as you continue it will not come back.

Answer 3

If its a first degree burn (red and no blisters) then keep it clean. If you try and cooli twith water it will feel better for a few minutes but the pain will return. If you just keep it clean and out of water the pain will go away after about 15 minutes. If you use water it will hurt for a couple of hours.
