Burn on toes still red, should I do anything more?

DD nearly 2 was playing with dh in the kitchen a couple of hours ago and put her toes against the kettle. I sat her with her feet in cold water for about 15-20 mins and she was perfectly calm about them (after the initial shock/pain) but they are still quite red now. No blisters, which is probably good so I don't really feel the need to go to hospital. Should I leave them and will they be ok or should I do something more (put cream on etc)?

Ah well none of those - thanks. Do you mean dip her toes in cold milk? Will it work in the morning as she's in bed now?
