Temperatures are expected to climb to record-breaking highs this week across the US. Here's how to stay safe.
How Do You Treat Heat Exhaustion?
If you have any symptoms of heat exhaustion, you should take action ASAP. For starters, try to lower your body temperature as soon as possible, Kara Telesmanick, MD, Inspira Health Urgent Care physician, says:"Drink plenty of fluids, remove tight or extra clothing layers, take a cold shower or use cold compresses, and move to an air-conditioned area." If you treat your symptoms quickly, you should start feeling better within an hour.
Once your body temperature hits 104 degrees, it's likely that you have heat stroke. A temperature that high can cause fatal organ damage, so you should seek immediate emergency treatment."On the way to [treatment], the affected person should drink cold water and apply cool compresses that help to cool the body down gradually," Dr. Telemanick says.
As with most illnesses, the best medicine for a heat-related illness is prevention, Dr. Telemanick says:"By being cautious of how much time you spend in the sun, along with drinking plenty of fluids and staying in shaded areas, you can make yourself much more likely to be safe from falling ill."
