Brief Answer:
Avoid silver sulfadiazine cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

Avoid using silver sulfadiazine cream on second-degree burns on the lips.
You can use a topical antibiotic steroid combination cream like mometasone and fusidic acid combination cream over the burn.

These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
