Burns:ANGER, BURNING UP
INCENSED
See SKIN DISORDERS See SHOCKThe reason burns can turn into blisters or swell is because of fluid loss. The damaged blood vessels need to stay well hydrated. It is important to drink plenty of water during this time.
Fluid loss may become critical in cases of serious burns. It is possible to send a victim into shock requiring intravenous transfusions of saline in order to restore blood pressure.
