INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It’s important to keep your burn wound clean, whether or not it’s infected. If it does become infected, however, you should closely follow your doctor’s advice on how to care for and clean the wound. This may or may not include washing or soaking the wound with water.  If your wound is infected and open, your doctor may ask you to soak it in warm salt water for 20 minutes, two to three times per day. You might also press a warm, wet cloth on the wound. Use warm salt water with 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of salt per quart of water.  If you use a washcloth on an infected wound, be sure that it is sterilized before and after. Alternatively, you can use a sterile disposable cloth. Hydrotherapy is sometimes used in rehabilitation to treat wounds that are already healed, or a bit further along in healing. Your doctor might not advise using this treatment, though, as it’s controversial. It may also be risky due to pathogens in the water that could worsen any infection. Honey may be able to provide relief by speeding up the healing of the wound, killing bacteria, and reducing swelling. Ask your doctor if you can use honey in addition to your medical treatments. If you were given a prescription for your infection, apply it to the infection according to the label's instructions. Unless approved by your doctor, avoid using over-the-counter antibiotic creams. Any antibiotics that you use on the infection must be specific to the bacteria infecting your wound. Depending on the severity and location of the burn, your activities may be limited. Avoid any activities that cause the burn to hurt or that might apply pressure to the wound. For example, if the infected burn is on your hand, avoid activities that use that hand, such as typing or grabbing objects. Use your other hand instead. If the infected area hurts, you can use an over-the-counter painkiller such as acetaminophen. For severe pain, your doctor may prescribe you a stronger prescription medication. Do not use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen, as these might slow healing of the infection.

SUMMARY: Keep the wound clean. Apply honey to the wound. Use prescription ointment only. Avoid activities that irritate the wound. Take a painkiller.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you ask her out, you'll have to start a conversation. Approach her with a positive, confident energy. It's good to start by making brief eye contact. After you've made this connection, flash her a quick smile.  Once you've made this initial connection, think about your body language. Make sure that you are open and receptive to her, rather than hunched over and closed off. Your openness will prove your interest in. Make sure that you're listening well. Empathic listening doesn't imply that you agree completely with the other person. It does, however, imply that you try to fully understand a person emotionally, behaviorally, physically, and intellectually. You want to get to know her quickly. When you're trying to ask a girl out, you have to be more active than you would starting a friendship. Think less about yourself and more about her. Lead off with a thought-provoking question. These intriguing questions will get her to open up. The more weird, specific facts that you know about her, the better. You'll have more topics to discuss. Without being cheesy, throw some nice compliments her way. A good compliment must be honest and genuine. Studies show that a personality-centric compliment works much better than a compliment relating to looks or skills.  If you think she has a great sense of humor, tell her. She might be very caring, and your acknowledgement of this attribute will certainly endear you to her. While compliments work well, don't be desperate with them. If you keep throwing out praise, your positive words will lose their impact. Tell her earnest compliments without being overbearing. Whatever you do, don't be too intimate with compliments during your first conversation. This has the chance to backfire and make you look creepy. Learning how to flirt is crucial in impressing a potential romantic partner. When you flirt, you're suggesting the potential for romance between you and the other party.  The flirting game must have suspense and ambiguities built into it. You want to keep her guessing without leading her astray. Flirting should be playful, however, so don't overthink it. Keep your eyes out for flirtatious non-verbal cues. Women are more likely to begin the initial flirtation, but they often wait for men to make the official "first move." If she's teasing you with a look, you don't want to miss it. Some non-verbal flirtations might include giggling, smiling, or laughing and nodding. If she's responding positively to you and you recognize these cues, she's probably flirting. If you're hitting it off, then you'll want to ask her out. While chatting and flirting will give you a chance to get to know her, you want to establish your interest by setting a time to see her in the future.  Think of some activities for your date. Movies and dinner can work, but they aren't always the most creative options. If you've gauged her interests by asking her about herself, then ask her to do something that fits what she likes. If you've acquired her number, don't get in a trap of texting. Texting can be great in setting up a date, but you need to meet in person. This will prove that she's worth your time.

SUMMARY:
Talk to her. Learn about her interests. Compliment her. Flirt smoothly. Make your move.
