Follow up to my featured #burns case in a 7yo refugee from Mosul in #Iraq. This is the burn today, at Day 28. Exudate is now much reduced, and limited to the yellowish patch within the dotted line I've drawn. After the dressing I applied on day 13, and telling the family to wait 5 days, they came back the next day as the dressing had "gone hot and uncomfortable" in their tent and the family had taken it off... Needless to say a fair amount of education has meant that they're now leaving dressings alone. The boy is a little fighter! Applied a small amount of SSD gauze to the area of exudate, with a highly absorbent dressing above it. Commenced on oral multivitamin syrup in the hope it'll help healing to some extent.


This is an update to the previous Chemical-Thermal burns case.
The images are clicked from the recent follow up of the patient under my care.
He regularly followed up for dressings, also kept up with the exercises of hand.
There is no restriction of any hand movements as of now and he is able to carry daily activities well.
No other complaints either.
Thank you everyone for all your valuable inputs.
