I've got a burn on my right leg from a few days ago, and now there's this weird watery stuff coming out of the wound. I've been using Silverex ointment on it, but is that normal? Should I be concerned or do anything different?

For a 4-day-old burn injury with serous discharge, continue using Silverex ointment, and also consider adding a topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bacitracin to prevent infection, while monitoring the wound for signs of infection
