Antibiotic cream vs oral antibiotics for children's burn wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of preventing infection in children with burns: applying antibiotic cream directly to the wound versus giving antibiotics by mouth. It aims to see which method works better for healing and preventing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 13 years old.
- The burn is from hot liquid (scald) or flame, and is partial-thickness (not through the full skin).
- The burn covers between 10% and 20% of the body surface.
- The burn is not full-thickness, and is not from inhalation, electricity, or chemicals.
- The burn is less than 3 days old, and your child has no other serious health conditions or injuries.
- Your child has not had a previous burn injury that required treatment.

This study compares different liquids used to clean burn wounds to see which one helps with healing, pain, fear, and anxiety in children. It could help make burn care more comfortable for kids.
This trial tests a new medicine called KJ101 for healing deep second-degree burns. It may help close the wound faster and reduce scarring.
This study tests a new dressing for burns that may need skin grafts. The dressing is made from a gel that helps wounds heal, and the study aims to see if it works better than standard care.
This study looks at how the immune system fights fungus after a burn. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk for infection and how to better protect them.
This study compares two types of wound dressings—one made from chitosan (a natural substance) and one with silver—to see how well they help heal children's burns and scars. If your child has a recent, mild-to-moderate burn that doesn't need surgery, this trial may be an option to help healing.
This trial tests whether a cream that combines silver sulfadiazine with hyaluronic acid heals partial-thickness burns better than silver sulfadiazine alone. Each patient has one burn area treated with the combination cream and another with the standard cream, allowing a direct comparison.
