Cool the burn by holding it under a faucet with running cold water or immerse the burn in cold water. A cold compress can be used. It could take five minutes for cold water to alleviate the pain. Aloe vera can be applied to alleviate some discomfort. Cover the burned area with a gauze bandage without putting pressure on the area. Take Ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or naproxen to reduce pain.
