I burned my hand on the stove, what should I do?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Burns can be painful. First, cool the burn with cool running water for a few minutes. Then, cover it with a non-stick bandage or dressing to protect it from further irritation.<|im_end|>

Is it okay to put ice on the burn?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, don't put ice directly on the burn. This can cause further damage. Instead, you can use a cold compress or a cold, wet cloth to help reduce the pain and swelling.<|im_end|>

Should I see a doctor?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
If the burn is minor and only affects the surface of your skin, you might not need to see a doctor. However, if the burn is deep, covers a large area, or you're concerned about infection, it's always best to seek medical attention.<|im_end|>
