What should I do if my lips get burned by laser?

If the patient's lips are scalded by laser, cold compress should be applied immediately, and medical attention should be sought promptly. Under the guidance of a doctor, general treatment, medication, and other methods can be adopted to alleviate symptoms. Here are the specific steps:

1. Cold Compress:

For minor burns with a small area, ice packs or a towel soaked in cold water can be applied to the affected area. However, it is necessary to avoid frostbite.

2. Disinfection:

For larger wounds on the lips, physiological saline can be used to flush the wound and iodophor or other disinfectant can be applied to prevent infection.

3. Protecting the Wound:

During the recovery period, minimize talking and eating to avoid affecting the healing process. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing teeth and rinsing the mouth morning and evening, washing hands before meals, and eating light and digestible foods such as millet porridge and egg custard. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and seafood foods to prevent worsening of the condition.

4. Other Measures:

If the pain is severe, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen Sustained-release Capsules or Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Tablets can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel can be applied to promote healing, accelerating tissue regeneration and ulcer healing. Infrared radiation can also be used to assist in reducing swelling, pain, and accelerating wound healing. Due to differences in individual constitutions, the specific treatment methods may vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients actively seek medical attention and choose a suitable treatment based on their condition.
