Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of burns, my treatment advice is -
1. Clean the wound with water and betadine solution.
2. Continue applying silver sulfadiazine cream twice daily.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

If problem persists then consult a general surgeon.

Thanks.
