Neonatal burns are a rare and challenging issue that is often overlooked during caregiver counselling. While iatrogenic burns account for the majority of reported cases, domestic burns are more prevalent in developing countries. Here, we report a case of a neonate with accidental scald burns due to spillage of a hot beverage on the body by the mother. Prevention is essential, and counselling and raising awareness about the cautious handling of hot beverages are of paramount importance in reducing the occurrence of accidental scald burns.To improve community acceptance of safe practices, it is crucial to include senior family members and ASHA workers in counselling sessions. Regular supervision, effective hospital policies, and training of caregivers and healthcare professionals are the key measures to be implemented to prevent accidental burns.
新生儿烧伤是一个罕见且具有挑战性的问题，在照顾者咨询中往往被忽视。虽然医源性烧伤占报告病例的大多数，但在发展中国家，家庭烧伤更为普遍。在这里，我们报告了一例因母亲将热饮溅到身上而导致新生儿意外烫伤烧伤的病例。预防至关重要，咨询和提高对小心处理热饮的认识对于减少意外烫伤烧伤的发生至关重要。为了提高社区对安全措施的接受程度，在咨询中包括高级家庭成员和 ASHA 工作人员至关重要。定期监督、有效的医院政策以及对照顾者和医疗保健专业人员的培训是实施的关键措施，以预防意外烧伤。
