Re: Help! Daughter burned hand
The sock idea isn't bad, although you might want to cut a hole for her thumb.
You could also try wrapping with an Ace bandage.
How about a pair of cool mittens that she could wear on both hands.
You could tape the dressings in place and then use a sock or mitten to make a hand puppet.
I don't know if drugstores carry this, but what might work is stockinette, the knitted tube dressing that is used for casting. It comes in various widths on rolls that you cut to the desired length.
What ever you do, she might not fight it so much if you do the same thing to one or even a bunch of her dolls or stuffed animals.
How long does she have to have the dressings on?
I wish you both well.
