Wiki 947.0 or 910.9?

[StephanieWestfall]

Physician states "palate burn infection". Which would be more appropriate?

947.0 - Burn, palate

OR

910.9 - Injury, palate, other and unspecified superficial injury, infected

Thank you, in advance.

I would go for the 947.0 because it is specifically documented as a burn.
