How to deal with burns from hot oil?
After being scalded by hot oil, you should immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of cold water or running tap water for more than half an hour, or until the pain eases. Then, thoroughly disinfect with iodine.
After a scald, if blisters form and are small and few, you can apply a burn moisturizing cream to promote healing; small blisters generally reabsorb on their own. If there are large blisters, you can use a sterile syringe to aspirate the fluid inside the blisters and keep the blister skin intact. At the same time, applying burn moisturizing cream on the surface can prevent infection. If the blister skin breaks, it is necessary to go to a formal hospital for treatment promptly.
You should maintain a light diet, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and consume high-protein, high-nutrient foods to promote wound healing. You should avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, avoid getting the wound wet to prevent infection, and change dressings according to the doctor's instructions.
