Remove clothing from your child's burned area. If clothing sticks, do not try to remove it. Place the burned area in a tub or pot of cold water. Keep the burned area in cold water for 10 minutes or longer until the pain is gone. This will keep the burn from going deeper in the skin and will relieve much of the pain.
