I put a speck of a shard of crystal meth in mymouth, and it accidently touched my lower lip. How do I treat this chemica burn using household items?? Ice??I know that a thick white cream is used on burn victims(silvadeen). What can I use to stop the burning process? Should I use first aid triple antibiotic pint? Vaseline?cold ice? White Toothpaste? Please reply asap. Thank you for your time and effort.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you have got a chemical burn over the lip leading to burning sensation you can first of all do cool compresses or icing the burnt area..
It will reduce inflammation and help in relieving irritation and pain..
You can also apply a Steroid based cream to reduce inflammation..
Toothpaste can also help in relieving pain and burning but at times certain toothpastes can also cause irritation..
Avoid licking the area with lip as it can further cause dryness and irritation..
Once the burning subsides you can also apply Antibiotic Ointment for preventing infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
