Burned my finger while cooking. Advise to ease pain? I thoughtlessly grabbed the lid of a thing...

Put aloe Vera on and wrap in cling film, the air makes the pain worse. Or keep it in Ice water.

For future reference, there are a antibiotic creams that contain painkiller. (Or Solarcaine spray, etc).

My doctor says applying butter to a burn actually can worsen the injury.

Try to keep the injured hand higher than your heart - it will throb less.

Hope it gets better fast.

Assuming clean and dry there's not much for pain. Ibuprofen or some other antiinflammatory and some burn cream with lidocaine if possible.

Use lukewarm to cool water, room temperature is typically ideal. the ice only numbs it temporarily by constricting blood vessels as soon as it warms up it'll go back to hurting.

A cream for burns, not ice or water as that makes it burn more

clean it. dry it. apply burn cream. keep ice on it. & call your doc they'll probably have you zoom call to take a look at it.

A slice of raw potato can be applied to minor burns. Begin by cutting a raw potato into slices. Then, take one of those slices and slowly rub it on the area of the burn. It is better if the juice of potato gets released over the burn.

Honey can prevent bacteria from infection. Spread honey on gauze and place the dressing on the burned area. You can change this bandage four times a day.

Take a wet tea bag and apply it on the burn. Make sure that the tea bag is cold to avoid adding more heat to the area.

Vanilla extract or vinegar.

These are a couple things I know of.

Soak it in cool milk as it will help to soothe, similar to drinking milk after spicy food can help to settle the burning. Also, you can apply honey to it.
