He burned the tongue, sky, lips, throat: what to do?
Depending on what caused the injury of the tongue, sky, gums or throat, high temperature or aggressive chemical, there are burns, respectively:
- thermal
- chemical
It is important to differentiate them, since the type of burn directly depends on what first aid should be provided to the victim.
Important: a burn of the oral cavity and lips is always painful, since in the mucosa in these areas there are a large number of receptors.
- If an adult or a child drank boiling water or a very hot liquid, inhaled the steam, came into contact with a heated object (cutlet with heat from the heat, hot spoon, he will receive the thermal burn of the lips, the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat.

- To a burn on the lip from the outside, attach an ice cube. Contact time is 2-3 seconds. Take a break, after attach the cube again. Panthenol, Bepanten and other pantotenic acid -based products help very well with a burn of this type of panthenic. From folk remedies, you can use chilled cucumber juice.
- With burns of the lips from the inside and the oral cavity (inner surface of the cheeks, sky, tongue, gum), rinse your mouth with cool water or milk (even better, since it creates enveloping fat film). If it hurts a lot, drink ibuprofen or paracetamol.

Simultaneously with pain and swelling, the appearance of vesiculas - bubbles from swollen leather filled with liquid on damaged covers. Since it is not possible not to touch them, the vesicles burst very quickly, exposing the wounds that hurt a lot. In addition to prolonged rinsing with cold water and cold compresses, local antiseptics and painkillers (anastocaine emulsions of 4% or a lidocaine solution 5% local) are also required.
In contact with boiling water, a burning of the third degree can occur, characterized by deep temperature damage to the tissue, accompanied by its presentation and necrosis. Here you can’t help yourself qualitatively, you need to call an ambulance and go to a hospital.
Important: until it has bought the oral cavity and lips completely, drink and eat hot, acute, sour and salty categorically cannot be.
