Sunburn relief

Using sunscreen is the easiest way to avoid sunburn. But if you do get it, here are some ways to get relief:

Take a cool bath. A little baking soda in the water may help with the pain.

Apply cool compresses.

Keep the sunburned area moist by applying lotion.

Aspirin or acetaminophen may help the pain, but remember not to give aspirin to children under 18.

Do not apply butter or petroleum jelly or wash the sunburned area with a harsh soap.

Call your doctor right away if you experience faintness or dizziness, rapid pulse or breathing, nausea, fever or chills, rash
