Urgent P&PT Please!

My dh pulled a stupid and did something I will regret for days. He took the kids to a water park and stayed all day. He only put sunscreen on them once and that was before they left the house. I thought he knew to reapply. Apparently he didn't know. He even thinks they are playing me. they hurt and are miserable. I have aloe veraed them and iced them like crazy. I went to the pharmacy to get some better stuff but they closed early due to it being Sunday. I'll have to get there tomorrow. They are so red, they look like little lobsters. I told dh that if they all wake up during the night in pain that I was packing them up and taking them to the ER. That I just didn't have the stuff to care for all three of them. Or do that and last all night. I gave them some ibuprofen to hopefully help with the pain. Right now they are all asleep, I just pray they manage to sleep all night. I doubt they will be in school tomorrow. Course dh will not be happy about that. But, it's his fault.

Try a vinegar bath, it takes away the pain. Just dab it on with a cotton ball or have them soak in a tub with lots of vinegar in it.

Poor kids, did they have fun before they were miserable?

Thank you for the info on the vinegar. Yes, it sounds like they had a blast! LOL They couldn't stop talking at dinner.

Aspirin isn't for under 12's due to Reye's syndrome. You're much better doing ibuprofen and vinegar in the bath.

Cool washcloths and minimal clothing will help. Maybe what they were wearing at th water park to prevent any rubbing on the burn. Hope they feel better soon
