If you receive a minor burn you should and?

If you receive a minor burn, you should immediately cool the burn under running cool (not cold) water for about 10-20 minutes to reduce pain and swelling. After cooling, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, and then cover it with a sterile, non-stick bandage or dressing. Avoid applying ice, butter, or ointments, as these can worsen the injury. If the burn shows signs of infection or does not heal, seek medical attention.
