Dr. Charles Breaux answered

Specializes in Pediatric Surgery

Take pain med: You probably have a 2nd-degree, or partial-thickness burn. Such burns can hurt a lot until they heal. You can try simple pain meds, such as Ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If you need something stronger, you should see a physician.
