What are the symptoms of heat stroke in infants and young children?

We all know that infants and young children have relatively poor protection measures. They are more easily affected by changes in external temperature. In the cold winter, they are more likely to catch a cold, and in the hot summer, they may also suffer from heatstroke. However, many babies cannot speak, so they cannot express their ideas. So let us take a look at the symptoms of heatstroke in infants and young children.

Infants and young children can also suffer from heatstroke! As the temperature is getting higher and higher, take your baby outdoors to avoid the scorching sun at noon.

Common symptoms of heatstroke in babies: fever, sweating, flushing, irritability, making noise, vomiting, refusing to eat, poor spirits, and love of sleep. Therefore, when babies have a fever in summer, it is not always a cold. Combined with other symptoms of heatstroke, you should consider the possibility of heatstroke.

What are the symptoms of heat stroke in babies?

If the baby's rectal or ear temperature exceeds 39 or even 40 degrees (it is not recommended to measure the armpit or oral temperature, which may underestimate the actual temperature), and the baby also has the following symptoms of heat stroke, the possibility of heat stroke should be highly suspected:

1. Although your baby is hot, he or she may not sweat. (This is one of the most typical symptoms of heat stroke)

2. The baby's skin will become red, hot and dry.

3. The baby becomes restless and cries, with faster breathing and pulse; then becomes tired, or even goes into convulsions or coma.

4. Older children may experience dizziness, nausea, loss of direction, and grogginess.

The above are many manifestations of heatstroke symptoms in infants and young children, including some changes in their skin, such as redness and itching, and of course some changes in the gastrointestinal tract, indigestion, nausea and vomiting. Of course, if your child also has such changes, you should take reasonable measures to deal with it.
