What can i do if my hand freaking hurts help me i have a 3rd degree burn how can i make it stop hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take pain med: Technically, a 3rd-degree burn is a full-thickness burn (all the way thru the skin) & the nerves are burned away. Such burns are therefore anesthetic & do not hurt. 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.
