Facts About Heat Illness In Children
Any person who ignores the signs of overheating and exertion can easily get a heatstroke. Even if you take a lot of fluids when you are out in sun, this will not prevent you from heatstroke. It may even worsen the symptoms of heat stroke as water may mask the symptoms of exhaustion.

Avoid Peak Sun Hours

Have A Shower
If you have signs of heat exhaustion, have a shower or bath. This will cool you down. Avoid a cold bath or shower, as it will cause abrupt decrease in temperature and will decrease blood circulation. Go for a cool shower always. Ensure you are not sweating at before going for a bath. Let it dry naturally and then go for a bath.
