My friend has burns all over from a nearby explosion. what are the best ways to treat it?

Burns s/p explosion: Go to ER, need to assess if second or third degree. Without skin you can get severely infected. Go to ER NOW

Need to Assess Depth: First of all the patient needs to be evaluated for any potential life threatening burns. Also need to evaluate the Total body surface and the depth of burns.

Hospital: If he has burns all over - it is best that he be treated in a hospital setting.

Go to burn center: to avoid infection and debilitating scarring he need to be seen at a regional Level I burn center ASAP

Burns: Need immediate medical evaluation. Please go to a burn unit center hospital.

Burn Therapy: Good day; There are teaching hospitals in the greater New York area that have Burn Units. Locate hospital in your community and possibly they can refer to closest Burn Center at convenient hospital.

Here are some...: 1. follow the initial care for burn and its related issues; 2. immediate and follow-up counseling for life reality after the event; 3. provide reasonable / available mental & physical rehabilitation including timely counseling for short- and long-term adjustment and growth. Of course, periodically check the existing facility for the availability of needed services as suggested.

Go to ER: Widespread burns can be life threatening, and should not be handled in a "do it yourself" fashion. See a doctor ASAP, but better yet, head to a hospital emergency room.

Emergency Room: Goodness! Your friend was burnt from an explosion? Get him or her to an emergency room!

Your friend needs to: be under the care of a burn surgeon in a hospital setting! Extensive burn from an explosion especially if in a closed space poses a lot of risk and can be life threatening. Your next action please will be to take your friend to the hospital and do everything you can to prevent infection. Take care and thanks for caring! www.healthtap.com/dr-nnebe

Call ambulance: I'd say treat it with Silvadine if you had some, but doubt you do. The best idea is to get him/her to a specialized burn unit as fast as possible.

Seek medical: attention asap. Follow their advice to reduce the chance of infections.
