I accidentally burned my thigh with hot water and started using Silverex ointment, but it's really itchy and painful. What can I do to heal it quickly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The itching and pain you are experiencing after applying Silverex ointment may be due to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the silver sulfadiazine in the ointment. I recommend stopping the use of Silverex ointment and instead applying a gentle soothing cream like aloe vera gel or plain white petroleum jelly to help with the itching and pain. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile dressing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
