What should I do if I get heatstroke in summer?

Move to a cool place first. In summer, people who stay in high temperature environment for a long time are prone to heatstroke, because high temperature will make human body function abnormal, which will lead to unconsciousness. If you find someone suffering from heatstroke outdoors, you must move to a cool place in time. Shade trees and indoors are the first choice for transfer. If there is no shade nearby, they can temporarily hold an umbrella for heatstroke victims and then leave the hot place.

After transferring heatstroke patients, people need to take timely measures to cool down. Physical cooling is the most commonly used method. Soaking a towel in cold water or even ice water, then wringing it and sticking it on the forehead of the heatstroke victim, and wiping the armpits, armpits and legs of the heatstroke victim with cold water can make the body temperature of the heatstroke victim drop rapidly. If the body temperature of heatstroke patients is still very high under physical cooling, then we can consider using drugs to reduce the body temperature, giving heatstroke patients some drugs that can be used to reduce the temperature, such as chlorpromazine, and then assisting in wiping the body surface with alcohol to help patients reduce their body temperature.

Press acupoints for first aid. If the heatstroke patient's condition is very serious, foaming at the mouth or pale, it is necessary to give first aid immediately after moving to a cool place. Pressing human acupoints is a very common and effective first aid method, and pressing human acupoints and Neiguan points can improve the symptoms of heatstroke. When heatstroke patients gradually recover, although they are more conscious, they are still weak, and the symptoms of heatstroke still exist. At this time, the symptoms of heatstroke can be alleviated by diet therapy. Feeding patients with warm boiled water helps to make up for the water lost by the body. Eating some summer food, such as Cui Yi Lotus Leaf Jellyfish Soup, is also very effective in relieving heatstroke symptoms.
