Question: Best way to soothe a burn? what's the best way to treat a bad burn immediatly? A freind just burnt her hand on the stove.

Answer: Cold water.  It's important to cool it as soon as possible to stop the burning.  In addition, cold is anti-inflammatory. Taking aspirin or ibuprofen can also cut down the damage. NEVER butter or anything greasy or oily.\n\nCan someone give me a reference for that warm water idea?  I can't find it anywhere, I've never heard it from anyone credible, AND it doesn't make sense.
