Types of Children's Burn Injuries

According to the Shriner's Hospital, there are three types of burns parents should be aware of in evaluating whether their child needs to go to the hospital for treatment. They are first degree, or superficial burns; second degree or partial burns; and third degree or full-thickness burns. Each of these burns have different symptoms and treatments.

There are many practical prevention tips that will help parents keep their child safe from an accidental burn from either electrical accidents, or scalding liquids or foods, or burns from fires. Shriner's Hospital and USA SafeKids offer burn prevention tips. For more information, go to:
