A majority of burns in children may have an ambulatory management for which the paediatrician has an important role. He must assess the severity of the burn by quoting extent, depth and localization of the burn injuries and then send the most severe to a specialized burn centre. The circumstances and the social situation are important in the decision of either hospitalization or ambulatory care, remembering that the burn may correspond to child abuse. The treatment consists of initially refreshing the burn to limit the extension, then washing the lesions using topical antiseptic soap, finally applying standard silver sulfadiazine cream. Local care is accomplished daily the first few days, then every three days to follow the healing and to keep a watch on possible complications such as infections or failure to heal, which must be treated in burn units. Pain relief treatment is an important part of the management.
