- Avoid touching it with dirty hand
- keep burnt area as clean as possible
- take acetaminophen for pain
- apply lignocane gel over the burnt area. it acts as local anesthetic agent. you might need prescription for it. its OTC in some areas you need to check from your local pharmacist.
- take ice and place it in a cloth and keep it over the burnt area. it will also give soothing effect.
Hopefully you will see improvement in a day BUT if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for further workup.
