Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic!

Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through. Based on the history you have shared, you should immediately stop using it, as it's usage may cause little burning but blisters and swelling is more concerning and indicates some local reaction to the cream.

For burning, if it is due to the drug usage, silvadine won't help with the symptoms. But it is an antibiotic and it is used to limit or prevent infection of burn wound. For symptomatic relief you need topical Analgesics and steroid creams to reduce inflammation and swelling.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
