How do you get a water burn to stop hurting?

To alleviate the pain from a water burn, immediately cool the area by running it under cool (not cold) water for 10 to 20 minutes. Avoid ice or very cold water, as it can cause further damage. After cooling, gently pat the area dry and apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to help with healing. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also help reduce discomfort.
