Dear lybrate user keep body hydrated that means drink water or non-alcoholic or non-caffeinated drinks even if you r not thirsty. Wear loose, lightweight clothing allows sweat to evaporate and cool you. Try and avoid high energy activities like hiking, running and cycling. Apply sunscreen lotion with good spf (30) before going out. Avoid going out at the hottest part of the day. The most dangerous time of day is the time midday to the afternoon when it is the hottest. Stay out of direct sunlight. If you notice the symptoms of heat exhaustion, treat them at home in order to prevent your condition from worsening. Get out of the heat immediately. Go into a cool, shady place, preferably one with air conditioning. Also drink plenty of water or fluids containing sugar and salt. This will help get your hydration back on track and raise your electrolyte levels. Try applying a cool cloth to your skin to help take down your body temperature. If you do not feel better within 30 minutes, call your doctor. Thanks.
