Burn injuries can be traumatic, especially when they affect young children. When it comes to treating burn injuries in paediatric patients, a variety of approaches can be considered. However, the use of L-Mesitran, as demonstrated in this case study, is proven to be a safe and effective option. The case study describes the treatment of a 2-year-old child who suffered burns to the scalp and face.
The boy was brought to the clinic with a large burn covering parts of his scalp and face. The wound was a result of an unfortunate accident where he pulled a kettle of hot water on himself. Due to the wound’s severity, the patient’s parents sought additional help. Two days after the accident, they reached out to a clinic.


Treating burn injuries
The initial assessment showed the severity of the wound and the damage to the face. Pieces of skin that had been damaged were apparent, along with a pus charge. This area was treated with L-Mesitran Soft.
Burnshield was used on the scalp as the examination of the burns did not reveal their severity. However, on the third day of the treatment, the patient’s scalp condition revealed burn damage.
Scalp area did not show sufficient improvement after administering oral antibiotics (Amoxil) and dressing the most damaged area with Silbecor.
L-Mesitran products were supplied the following day and were applied to the patient’s scalp as well. Noticing the treatment results, it has been decided to use L-Mesitran on all burnt areas.
After around two weeks from the accident, both face and scalp burns healed completely.
