She has shaky hands and is finding it hard to stay awake.
Brief Answer:
Needs care for sunburn and evaluation for other symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Sunburn treatment is mostly pain relief and itching control with ibuprofen and topical corticosteroids application. Apply moisturizers or aloe vera over the skin. Cool the skin. If blisters form dont break them or manipulate them. Avoid applying -caine products like benzocaine etc. Avoid sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm. Use sunscreens frequently and generously. Wear glasses when outside don't expect a base XXXXXXX to protect.
However the fainting episode in the morning , shaky hands and inability to stay awake needs evaluation as these symptoms do not correlate with sunburn. She needs evaluation for that . So get to a doctor and let them sort it out for you.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
