Rising temperatures bring health problems for everyone, be it children or adults. In this season, people are most at risk of heat stroke. You must have read many times about how to protect yourself from heat stroke, but do you know what mistakes a person should avoid if he gets heat stroke? Let’s find out.
Don’t make these mistakes when you get heat stroke
Ignoring symptoms
People make this mistake the most. If you are feeling symptoms like dizziness, severe headache, vomiting, or fainting, then do not take them lightly. All these symptoms can be a sign of heat stroke. In such a situation, as soon as symptoms of heat stroke appear, immediately seek medical help for treatment.
Staying in the heat
Even after suffering from heat stroke, some people spend the entire day in the scorching sun and heat. Do not make such a mistake. If the patient suffers from heat stroke, he should be immediately taken to a shady or air-conditioned place where he does not feel the heat.
Not drinking water or drinking the wrong beverages
Some people do not drink enough water despite suffering from heat stroke, but instead start consuming caffeinated or alcohol. Do not make such a mistake. Always give cold water or ORS solution to the patient slowly when he suffers from heat stroke. Avoid consuming alcohol, coffee or soda.
Taking the wrong medicine
Many times people start taking medicines like aspirin or paracetamol to reduce the fever of heat stroke. Do not make this mistake. These medicines can cause harm instead of benefit in heat stroke. In case of heat stroke, take any medicine only after consulting a doctor.
Not reducing body temperature
Many times people do not try to reduce the body temperature of the patient when he suffers from heat stroke. Whereas this is what should be done first. Keep in mind, in case of heat stroke, first wipe the body with a wet cloth, turn on the fan or AC, make the patient take a bath with cold water but while doing so do not apply ice directly on the skin.
Wearing heavy clothes
Many times the patient wears tight or heavy clothes, which work to increase the heat of the body. In such a situation, to protect yourself from heat stroke, wear light and loose clothes instead of heavy thick clothes so that the body can remain cool.
Delay in medical help
Do not go to the doctor even after having serious symptoms of heat stroke like fainting or high fever. Many people believe more in home remedies than medicines. But if the symptoms of heat stroke are serious (such as fever more than 104°F, confusion, or seizures), then one should immediately go to the hospital and seek medical advice. Do not make the mistake of treating yourself by staying at home.
