The antibiotics that you have given are correct for burn injury, but the doses should be correct. Syr Zifi has to be given at a dose of 5ml twice daily. Syr zenflox 5 ml twice daily. Please note that both these drugs are prescription drugs and you have to get them prescribed by a doctor.
Apply silver x ointment locally on hand and keep the area dry.
If there is fever or pus discharge from the wound go to Emergency Room.
