What to do if your child has heat stroke and vomits

Everyone's impression of summer is scorching heat. In summer, in addition to paying attention to dietary adjustments, we must also pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling. When the temperature is relatively high, it is very easy for people to suffer from heatstroke. Parents of children should pay more attention in particular. After all, children's body resistance and immunity are relatively low. If children have vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness, they may have heatstroke.

What to do if your child has heat stroke and vomits

What to do if children have heat stroke

1. Immediately move the child to a ventilated, cool, and dry place, such as a corridor or under the shade of a tree.

2. Let the child lie on his back, unbutton his clothes, and take off or loosen his clothes. If the child's clothes are soaked with sweat, you should change the child into dry clothes in time, and turn on the fan or air conditioner to dissipate heat as soon as possible, but do not blow the wind directly on the baby.

3. Cool down quickly to reduce the child's body temperature to below 38 degrees. The specific method is: use a cool, wet towel to compress the child's head, or give the baby a warm bath.

4. Do not let the child eat or drink before he is conscious. After he is conscious, give him some caffeine-free refreshing drinks every 10 to 15 minutes, but do not give them to those who vomit or are unconscious. You can also let your baby drink mung bean soup, light salt water, etc. to relieve heat.

5. You can also pinch the child's Ren Zhong, Nei Guan and Hegu points. If you have objects such as needles around you, you can disinfect them with fire first, then use the needle to shallowly pierce the Ren Zhong point and squeeze out blood drops. These two methods have a good therapeutic effect on babies who are sweating profusely and exhausted.

What are the measures to prevent heat stroke when children go out?

1. Sunscreen: It is best to carry sunscreen with an SPF value of 15 or above.

2. Hat: It is best to have a hat with a large brim that can droop down to cover the child's ears and neck.

3. Talcum powder: It is intended to protect the skin, but do not put too much powder on children to avoid inhalation by children and affecting their respiratory system.

4. Thermos pot or flask: (Thermos here means keeping the temperature low) is used to store food and drinks, because food and drinks are easy to deteriorate under high temperature conditions.

5. Plenty of water: Children need to drink plenty of water to replenish the water their bodies consume in high temperatures.

6. Sunglasses: Children should be equipped with children’s sunglasses.
