Sever sunburns are uncomfortable and quite painful.  The National Library of Medicine suggests these simple ways to sooth a sunburn:  Take a cool shower or bath (putting baking soda in the bathwater also can help soothe sunburn), moisten your skin with lotion (applying aloe vera gel can help cool the skin and relieve pain) and adults may also take an over-the-counter pain reliever, like aspirin or ibuprofen to alleviate the pain and reduce swelling.
