How to identify heat stroke?
With the summer heat getting so extreme these days, I'm concerned about heat stroke, especially for my elderly parents. What are the critical symptoms to look out for to identify heat stroke quickly, so we can get help?

During extreme summer, if a person stops sweating, has a very high body temperature, and feels dizzy, it is heat stroke (loo lagna). Move them to a cool shadow immediately, wipe their body with a wet cloth, and give them fresh buttermilk or aam panna, but call a doctor if they are losing consciousness.

My colleague had this last year during fieldwork. He suddenly became very confused, his skin was hot and red, and he felt nauseous. We didn't wait for home remedies and took him straight to the local clinic where they gave him IV fluids.

If you walk outside in June and feel like your brain is melting, you have a pounding headache, and you are literally dizzy, that's heat stroke calling. It's a real emergency, so don't just sit under the fan. Go to a hospital if you are feeling completely knocked out.

Heat stroke symptoms include a high body temperature, confusion, fast pulse, and severe headache. To prevent this, stay hydrated with tender coconut water and watery fruits like watermelon. However, if someone is vomiting or confused, do not try to feed them anything; get medical help right away.

Heat stroke is a serious medical emergency and can cause organ damage if ignored. If someone is disoriented, has rapid breathing, and a high temperature, don't try to manage it at home. Please rush them to the nearest hospital or emergency room immediately.
