About Burno Cool Cream 250 gm

Burno Cool Cream 250 gm belongs to a combination of medicines called 'topical antibiotics' primarily used to treat burns and prevent skin infections. Burns are common household injuries that damage the skin or deeper tissues and cause the death of affected skin cells. Based on the severity of skin damage, burns are categorized into 3 main types: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree burns. 

Burno Cool Cream 250 gm is a combination of two drugs:  Silver sulfadiazine (antibiotic) and Chlorhexidine (antiseptic). Silver sulfadiazine belongs to the class of sulfa antibiotics that inhibit the production of folic acid (a vitamin) necessary for bacteria to multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, destroys bacteria. Chlorhexidine belongs to the antiseptics class that works by binding to the skin strongly and kills micro-organisms on the skin and prevents infection.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include protein-rich foods such as yogurt, chicken, and eggs in your diet as there is a loss of protein through burn wounds and breakdown of muscles to produce extra energy for the healing process. The additional protein is required to rebuild lost muscle.
  • Add more carbohydrates to your diets such as potatoes, beans, and rice as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
  • Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid) such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid drinking sugary beverages.

Special Advise

  • Regular blood tests are recommended while using Burno Cool Cream 250 gm to monitor kidney functioning.
  • Please consult a dermatologist if your skin condition persists for more than 1 month.
