While firing crackers, a child gets severe burns on the hand. What would you do?

  • A.Dip the child's hands in cold water till there is no more burning sensation.
  • B.Wash the hands with dettol.
  • C.Send someone to call the doctor.
  • D.Apply some ointment on the affected area.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Dip the child's hands in cold water till there is no more burning sensation.

A burn goes on damaging the skin from its own heat, so the first thing is to cool it: hold the hand under cold water until the burning stops. Ointments, ice or bandages applied first would each make matters worse.
