A member asked:

My ten year old daughter heated liquid in the microwave and when removing from microwave spilt liquid onto her stomach. have applied cold cloth and burn shield and given her nurofen. after twenty minutes she is in lots of pain. take her to dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If the area involved in the burn is small, the doc is unlikely to do more than you have already done. A cold compress (ice in a ziploc bag wrapped in a towel or chilled towel) can reduce the pain and be replaced as needed. If the whole process has spooked you or the kid a visit may help calm every bodies nerves.
