...SSD or 1% Silver Sulfadiazine cream...

This is what we treat burns with most of the time. It's a great antibiotic. Prevention of infection is the key. Infection an turn a 2nd degree to a 3rd degree burn. Be aware that Silvadene will stain things black, like your wife's sheets, pillow cases, couch Cover the burn with a dressing to keep yourself out of trouble It's not an over-the-counter medication

I'm surprised no one has mentioned putting Aloe Vera gel...

This is an old herbal treatment that has been shown to be valid scientifically. Aloe Vera plants were common in households in the past. A housewife/househusband (politically correct ) could break off a portion of the plant and squeeze the juice onto the burn. Keep that Aloe Vera gel in the 'fridge. It feels great when it's cold.
Blister fluid is protective, healing, and comforting. Leave the blister as long as the blister remains intact. When it ruptures, the blister should be removed to prevent bacterial growth in the fluid.

So how long will it be before I can breath without the bone against bone crunch

Unfortunately, Gary, it will take several weeks for this to improve If Ibuprofen doesn't bother your stomach and you don't have a aspirin allergy, 800 mg 4 times a day may help (Advil x4). If your on other meds, check with your doctor. Just remember to breath deep (even though it hurts like hell) so you don't get pneumonia

Everybody take 2 aspirins and call me in the morning
