Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Burn wound especially with boiling water can cause oozing of fluid from the wound. It’s a quite common finding and nothing much to worry about. It is due to leakage of edema fluid due to edema under the burnt site. Continue antibiotics and pain killers. Drink plenty of water to keep him hydrated.
