Ailment: Sunburn

Remedy: Cold water

Cold water is the immediate treatment for burns. Every second counts after the initial burn. Hold the burn under cold water or a gently running tap for at least 10 minutes. Add a few ice blocks to the cold water if you can, especially if you live in a warm climate.
