    I've always used three things:

    -Regular ibuprofen capsules
    -Aloe Vera Gel (if refrigerated is better)
    -A bag full of ice.

    If you apply the gel, take the pills and hold the ice for 3-5 minutes periods, you should get rid of the pain totally inmediatly, being permanently gone in about two hours after initiating the process.

    Note: This will only work with minor burns. For other types of burns always see a doctor.

    • Tylenol is not ibuprofen, it is acetaminophen

    • It's actually not recommended that you use ice. The reason is that ice can add additional damage via frostbite. I had second and third degree burns about 10 years ago and ice was the only thing that helped the awful pain, but the people in the ER were very clear about the dangers of ice on a burn. They don't recommend anything colder than water.
