Boiled water burn
Dear doctor,
My daughter is five years old. Two days before my wife was taking boiled water for steam inhalation. By the she taking, my daughter ran towards her and they both clashed with each other. The boiled water has over flowed on my daughter's head and she started cry very loudly foro one hour. We applied coconut oil on the burn. But today we see there is a reddish mark with small bubbles at the spot. We are so worried for that weather it goes or not.pls suggest some lotion, cream or other medicine.
