Answer:

There are number of things that can be done to treat the burn. Treating it immediately is very important, but always remember that do not use an ice on the burn since it will cause tissue damage to the affected area. A cool pack can be a good alternative to ice pack, since it will help to keep that part of the skin cool for the next ten to fifteen minutes. You can also take an aspirin, to help minimize the redness, swelling and the pain that goes with the burn
