Suggest Remedy For Bad Carpet Burn On Face And Swollen Eye

Hi I have quite a bad carpet burn on my face and the eye above it is very swollen. This happened just over 24 hours ago. I am putting antibiotic cream on the burn and keeping it clean. Is there anything else I should be doing for the burn and the swelling? Will this scar?

Hi..

You may take antibiotic like cefixim 200 mg daily twice a day along with anti inflammatory like brufen 400 mg thrice a day. Apply silver sulfadiazine cream. Avoid scratching.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
