your child has an uncomfortable sunburn, here are suggestions to help it heal and to soothe the youngster’s pain, courtesy of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital:

* Give the child a cool bath.
* Apply a cool compress.
* Apply a moisturizer, aloe or hydrocortisone cream. Avoid products with Benadryl or benzocaine to minimize the risk of a reaction.
* Give the child acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain.
* Leave any blisters alone to reduce risk of infection. Do not try to pop or drain them.
* Keep the child out of the sun until the burn heals.
