One suggested: "Mix vinegar and water together. Put it on sunburnt areas and it takes the heat out of it. My mum was told this by an old doctor nearly 60 years ago. Works every time."
While another said: "What you should do is put some Voltarol gel or any anti-inflammatory gel on the red parts. It works the best for sunburn. It's going to pull all that pain out and he's going to feel relief almost instantly. Trust me I work in a pharmacy."

Another recommended cling film: "Try cling film, as its air that makes thr burn worse. Did it for my dad who burnt his belly. And you can still use ice on top of that."

While one shared their concerns for Dan's dad, writing: "In the best possible sense Dan, keep an eye on him just in case of sunstroke developing. Might also be worth getting your dad checked out by a clinician just to ensure he's okay. Hoping your dad's feeling better soon."
