How to stop throbbing pain from burn?

I accidentally burned my hand while cooking yesterday, and the throbbing pain is constant. It's making it difficult to do anything. What can I use to stop this throbbing pain from a burn?

First, hold the burn under cool running tap water for at least 10 to 15 minutes immediately. Don't use ice as it can damage the tissue further. If it starts blistering, go to a clinic quickly.

I just burnt my hand on a hot pan and the pain is throbbing so badly. Is it safe to apply some raw honey on it to stop the burning, or will that make it worse? Please guide me.

When I got a steam burn while cooking, keeping my hand under cold tap water for a long time was the only thing that worked. After that, I just applied a basic burn cream that my doctor had recommended.

I totally get it, that throbbing burn pain is absolutely intense and makes you feel so restless. Try to keep the area elevated above your heart level if possible, it really helps reduce that throbbing feeling.

I burnt my forearm last month. The throbbing pain finally settled when I wrapped it loosely in a clean, damp cotton cloth. Don't pop any blisters that form, let them heal naturally.

Bro, never apply toothpaste on a burn, my hostel warden told me it traps the heat inside. Just use cold water and keep it clean. If it's a major burn, go to the doctor right away.
