SUNSTROKE AND HEAT STROKE

Sun Stroke. During the hot summer months a child may develop sun stroke if he plays about in the sun for a long time. The child sweats profusely, which results in the loss of body fluid and salts. He (or she) complains of headache, weakness and dizziness and may vomit. Skin is cool and wet with sweat, and it may not be possible to assess his body temperature. The child should be made to lie down in a cool place under the fan and given plenty of fluid. Some salt is also necessary because the child has lost a lot of it. A lemon drink with salt and sugar is very pleasant and should be given frequently.

Heat Stroke. Another way in which the heat may affect a child is by a sudden rise of body temperature to 106 F or above. The child may become delirious and get a convulsion. Every effort should be made to bring the temperature down. He should be wrapped in a wet sheet and given plenty of fluid to drink. Aspirin or paracetamol should be given to bring down the temperature - half a tablet for a child of 2-3 years of age and 1 tablet for older children. A doctor should be consulted as soon as possible, or the child should be taken to hospital.

Prevention of Sun and Heat Stroke.

The child should not play in the sun for long periods, but that does not mean that you should not let him go out in the sun at all. Over-clothing should be avoided. The child should have plenty of water, a lemon drink or fruit juice.
