Burnt thumb?

i burned my thumb this afternoon and i burnt it pretty badly (i think) does anybody have anything that i can do so it stops stinging (I have aloe and ice on it)
Answer:
Ow! Run it under cold water. Ice can actually make it worse. Aloe is great! Also, after aloe-ing it, put your hand in front of an air conditioning vent, fan, or freezer! It makes it feel soooo much better.
What you are doing already is a pretty good start and burns do tend to sting for hours. Have you tried a couple of pain killers to help? If it does get any worse, go and see your doctor as he may be able to subscribe you something stronger to take the pain away.
Petroleum jelly [AKA vasoline,] can help with burns.
If you are up for a run to the drug store, there is a spray called "Dermoplast". It feels like a fire extinguisher :0) and can be reapplied as needed. Many hospitals use this.
