Perhaps Oomis’s doctor meant that using Silvadine would help reduce pain in the long term. But, since Oomis understood it as immediate, it worked via a combination of placebo effect and vasaline effect. “
Thank you, but not so. The doctor was very specific that the cream would eliminate the pain. I didn’t even realize that it had antibiotic properties until later on. As to placebo effect. if one has a painful burn, I am seriously doubtful that a placebo would give immediate relief. Many people mistakenly believed that applications of butter or ice would relieve the pain, when in fact it makes the burn worse.
