Hi. As per your case history of burns, my treatment advice is - 1. Clean the wound with water and betadine solution. 2. Continue applying silver sulfadiazine cream twice daily. 3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and swelling. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
