When heatstroke occurs, you should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid complications such as shock and kidney failure. However, before being sent to the hospital, some first aid treatment is still needed. The following is an introduction to the first aid methods before closing the doctor.
More than a dozen measures and treatments to avoid heatstroke;
1. Wear a hat: It is best to choose a hat that is breathable and can cover the neck, because the top of the head is particularly sensitive to temperature changes. When you have to do outdoor activities, you'd better do it in the morning and at dusk. Some people have to be cautious when they return to the sun after a few hours' rest.
2. Drink plenty of water: water is still the best drink for dehydrated people. Don't drink like a cow, you should drink a little at a time. Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are rich in water and balanced in salt.
3. Don't smoke and drink: Smoking will constrict blood vessels and damage smokers' ability to adapt to high temperature. Drinking too much will accelerate the collapse. Caffeine can also accelerate collapse.
4. Slowly adapt to the change of temperature: At the beginning of the season, spend a little time every day to hurt outdoor activities, so that the body can gradually adapt to the change of temperature. Instead of working in an air-conditioned room all week, you don't shy away from the burning sunshine on weekends.
5. Slow down: When the weather is very hot, no matter what activities you are engaged in outdoors, you should slow down.
6. Wear cotton and light-colored clothes: cotton clothes are more breathable, and light-colored clothes can reflect sunlight. The combination of the two will not make the body temperature too high.
7. Replenish water: If patients are still conscious, they should be provided with drinks, and water is the best choice.
8. Cooling treatment: pour water on the patient instead of immersing him in cold water. Water spilled on the skin evaporates quickly to increase the efficiency of cooling. Or wet compress the patient with a cold towel, and if possible, move the patient to a place with air-conditioning equipment.
9. Always keep summer medicine: always keep summer drinks and medicines, such as summer tablets, wind oil essence, cool oil, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, Rendan pills, and ten drops of water. Summer drinks, such as mung bean soup, watermelon juice, tomato juice and chrysanthemum tea, can be drunk at any time at ordinary times by adding a little salt to the above drinks.
10: Light diet: It is not advisable to eat a high-fat and thick, fleshy diet in summer, and it is not advisable to eat spicy diets such as fat pigs, cattle, mutton, peppers, hot sauce, pepper, curry powder and ginger as little as possible. It is better to have a light diet in high temperature climate.
Tips for cooling off summer heat:
1: White chrysanthemum, orange peel, hawthorn each 5 ~ 10g, soaked in 500 ~ 1000ml of boiling water, and taken after cooling.
2: 15 grams of lotus leaf, 100 grams of mung bean, 30 grams of soybean and 30 grams of white lentil, decocted in water, and then taken with thick juice.
30g of mint and 30g of fresh lotus leaf, 2000ml of water, decocting for 10min, filtering, adding proper amount of honey (or sugar and rock sugar), stirring well, and drinking at will.
