Treatment is generally supportive and recovery is usually within 10 days, although fatigue can last longer. Extra rest and proper nutrition are important. Athletic activities may need to be curtailed for a few weeks. Antibiotics are not recommended unless strep throat is proven. Sun exposure is cumulative over a lifetime and can lead to skin cancer, premature wrinkling and loss of skin elasticity.
Sunburn is generally a first-degree thermal burn that causes redness to the top layer of skin.
A second-degree burn damages the next layer of skin and causes blisters. Very sensitive people may experience nausea, fever, and a fine rash. It is best to prevent sunburn from occurring. Stay out of the sun during the middle of the day. Use sun block or sunscreen with a value of 15.
