[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 179128, member: 1233"] Tylenol will help some. I have NEVER tanned, and had many serious sunburns. I also had to deal with my children (older 2) getting 2nd degree burns from a day with my bro at the lake when they were 4 and 7 - dermatologist made us keep them OUT of ALL sun for 3 years - no swimming, no sports, hoovered mightily. Motrin would help because the sunburn will cause swelling, but if it reacts to his medications it is out. And aspirin is out. Might try Orudis (OTC version), but it is also an NSAID - related to motrin so ask the pharmacist. Tea, yogurt or buttermilk or dry milk, and the lidocaine sprays have always worked well for me. Be very careful if you use commercial aloe "after tan" type products - often they have alcohol in them. It stings ferociously on sensitive skin. You can brew strong tea (regular - like lipton) and add it to bath water, or chill it and make cold compresses with dish towels. Dry milk or buttermilk in the bath water, or put plain yogurt (even flavored in a pinch if he won't stain anything) on as a cream, cover with a towel and then shower off. To make the yogurt much much more effective, put cheesecloth or a linen dish towel in a collander, put the yogurt in and let sit in the fridge overnight (24 hours?) and it will get much thicker. Then it is heavenly when chilled. This is all from being the 4th known generation of females who don't tan, only burn, and spent major time in boats, FL or hot state similar most of our lives. I hope he feels better soon. Remember, sunburns are BURNS - NO GREASY ANYTHING until the heat it totally out!!! It will make it WORSE! [/QUOTE]
