Answer:

Call 911

Step-by-step explanation:

You should call 911 to seek medical help if the burn is larger than 2 inches(major burn), it seems to vary for what you should do next and you should refer to the lesson; however, the most reasonable option is to cover the burn with a clean towel or sheet and head to the emergency room or wait for help to come. Cooling *with nether hot or ice cold water* for 20 min is also a common answer along with covering it with cling film or a clean plastic bag.
