What must always be included in the treatment of fourth degree burns?

1. Over-the-counter creams

2. Medical Attention

3. Ice packs

4. Home remedies

The correct answer is: Over-the-counter creams

Fourth-degree burns are severe burns that affect all layers of the skin and underlying tissues, including muscles and bones. These burns require immediate medical attention and management by healthcare professionals. Over-the-counter creams are not sufficient to treat such severe burns and can even be detrimental. Ice packs and home remedies are also not appropriate for the treatment of fourth-degree burns. Only medical attention can provide the necessary care, support, and interventions to help minimize complications and promote proper healing of these critical injuries.
