Hello
I share your concern
Please upload me a photograph of the blister and burns marks
How much time has elapsed since the injury
Has he immunised for tetanus?

In my opinion you should give her paracetamol syrup to reduce pain and inflammation.
He may require a course of antibiotics and dressing with SSD cream
give him plenty of fluids.

Brief Answer:
Continue with syrup calpol and SSD cream application

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again
I had gone through the photographs you ahev uploaded you need not to worry much, it will heal up.

It's just a superficial burn so give him calpol syrup for pain and inflammation and apply SSD cream on the blisters of the leg
Neosporin powder can be used but SSD is a better alternative.
