What should I do if my child has heat stroke?

In hot weather, it is still very easy to get heatstroke, especially for some children, who are sometimes too busy playing and always running outside, or who get heatstroke because of lack of water and lack of protective measures. At this time, it is still necessary to do a good job of cooling down as soon as possible, and also realize the importance of early prevention. There are still many heatstroke prevention measures, so what should I do if my child gets heatstroke?

Remove from high temperature environment immediately.

If children have heatstroke, they should be removed from the high temperature environment immediately and moved to ventilated and cool places such as corridors, under the shade of trees, and air-conditioned rooms to allow them to have a good rest. However, it should be noted that the cooling method should be gentle and avoid sudden drops in temperature. For example, a child suffering from heatstroke should not be immediately taken into an air-conditioned room with too low a temperature. Instead, a fan should be blown on the child, or the child should be placed in an air-conditioned room with a suitable temperature.

Physical cooling.

If children have heatstroke, stop them from playing or running around. Instead, let them lie flat on their backs and keep their airways open. Immediately unbutton their clothes and take off or loosen their clothes. At the same time, parents can cool their children down physically by wiping their entire body with a wet towel, or by applying a cold towel to their forehead.

Medicine to dispel heat.

If children have heatstroke, parents can give them oral medicines such as Rendan, Shidi Shui, Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui, etc. They can also apply cooling oil, Fengyoujing and other medicines on their foreheads and temples. However, parents should not give them antipyretics, antibiotics or other drugs without authorization.

Dietary adjustment.

If a child has heatstroke and is conscious, parents should let them drink light salt water several times to replenish enough water and salt. If the condition is not very serious, or the child has basically recovered, parents can cook some mung bean porridge, winter melon soup and other foods for them, or give them some fresh fruit juice, watermelon and other fruits, but do not give children greasy food.

Send to hospital for treatment promptly.

If a child has severe symptoms of heatstroke, such as lethargy, irritability, convulsions, coma, and twitching, he or she should be sent to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying the child's condition.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about what to do if a child has heatstroke. There are many reasons that cause children to have heatstroke. It is very important to take targeted emergency measures. If the situation is very serious, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Never let the child's health be threatened.
