Heatstroke Explained | Tips & Precautions by Dr. Anirban Jaiswal | HP Ghosh Hospital
According to Dr. Jaiswal, “Individuals who regularly engage in physical activity under intense sunlight are at a higher risk of heat stroke. In its early stages, heat stroke can cause a sudden spike in body temperature, stomach upset, or even nausea. If not addressed with timely medical attention, it may lead to serious complications.”
To prevent heat stroke, follow these key precautions:
- Avoid going out during peak afternoon hours unless absolutely necessary.
- Wear light-coloured and breathable clothing during summer.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or fluids.
- Use a good-quality sunscreen lotion.
- Adults, especially those regularly outdoors, should bathe twice a day.
