Cool the wound, Clean the wound, Cover the wound and Call the doctorThe Shriners Hospitals
For Children suggests these steps (HealthDayNews) :
Get the victim away from the heat source as quickly and safely as possible.Cool the burn with cold water ( not ICE/ icewater).Cover the area with a sterile pad or clean sheet.Maintain the person's body temperature andtake the victim to the nearest medical facility.Do not apply oils, sprays or ointments to a serious burn.
Some other do's and dont's:
For eye burns, seek medical opinion immediately, do NOT put eye drops/ ointmentsIn case of a small burn, you may apply an antiseptic cream before seeking medical adviceIf the burn is larger than the size of the palm (in adults) do seek out a doctorDO NOT puncture blisters, they are sterile and prevent infectionIn case of limb burns, remove constricting things like rings, bangles, belt, boots etc. as it may be difficult to remove them later due to swelling.
