Special Advise

  • Regular blood tests are recommended while using Wbc Cream 20 gm to monitor kidney functioning.
  • Please consult a dermatologist if your skin condition persists for more than 1 month.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include protein-rich foods such as yogurt, chicken, and eggs in your diet as there is a loss of protein through burn wounds and breakdown of muscles to produce extra energy for the healing process. The additional protein is required to rebuild lost muscle.
  • Add more carbohydrates to your diets such as potatoes, beans, and rice as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
  • Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid) such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid drinking sugary beverages.
