Overheating, or heat stroke, develops in children quickly and, most importantly, unnoticed.
Therefore, every mother and father should find out what it looks like and what to do in this case.
Signs of heat stroke in a child
To prevent an unpleasant situation from arising, parents who go for a walk with their child should regularly check his condition.
You should be especially careful if the room you are in is hot and stuffy.
You can tell that something is wrong if your child's body temperature rises.
In addition, in this state, children may be apathetic and lethargic, as well as whiny, which does not happen often.
Finally, we can talk about overheating when the child’s heart rate increases and his breathing also becomes rapid and intermittent.
What not to do if your baby is overheated
Rapid cooling, for example, in a bathtub with cold water or in front of a stream of air from an air conditioner, is prohibited.
How to help a child with heat stroke
The primary task of adults is to eliminate the impact of the negative factor, that is, heat.
Move the baby to a cooler place as soon as possible, loosen or remove clothing and diapers. Offer the baby water to drink – cool, but not icy.
