So I am posting this of a reminder of the danger of not letting things cool in the microwave or being cautious when removing hot items especially when they contain liquids or steam. Avery immediately put a gel bag from the freezer on the area and came to get me. With all the first-aid kits in the house, I could not locate any with a burn ointment even in my larger kits that contain their original inventory. I went to the pharmacy and bought some emergency burn gel and found I product I didn't know existed Moist Burn Pads (see photo below).
Avery is okay after spending a couple of hours with cold gel bags and the other items on the burn.
- I'd say the lessons learned are to instruct Avery to let things cool in the microwave and be extra careful when liquids are involved.
- Make sure I have burn ointment on hand and know where it is.
