Hope the burns is in a small area but a clinical consultation is important to know and provide proper guidance.
Silver nitrate is one of the recommended treatments for a burn.
Burns treatment is done by plastic surgeon and if not available then please consult a general surgeon doctor.
After examining the doctor will decide to give antibiotics course and if any wound debridement is needed.
Please keep the burn area clean.
