Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Silvadene burn cream is used to treat the burn to prevent infections.
So, it is recommended in your case.
I suggest to use an over the counter antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream which can also help to prevent infections.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
