Yes: are his feet sunburnt?
make sure you take an icecube and apply it to the sun burnt area .if it is bad or blistered it needs to have a dressing.
make sure you replace his electrolytes with some think like pedialyte
calamine lotion should help with the soothing
next time use a screen with a high SPF
