What to do after heat stroke?

It was super hot yesterday and my friend got a heat stroke while we were out. We got her home and cooled her down, but she still feels very tired and dizzy. What should we do for her now to help her recover completely?

Oh man, heat stroke? Sounds like your body tried to become an oven! Jokes aside, hope you're okay! Just chill out, literally. Stay hydrated, eat light stuff, and avoid turning into a human solar panel for a while. Doctor ka sunna zaroori hai pehle, haan?

Beta, heat stroke is serious. Pehle toh make sure you've seen a doctor, that's most important. Uske baad, ghar pe, try to stay in a cool room, drink lots of liquids like nimbu paani or ORS. Khana halka rakho, kichdi jaisa. Body ko rest do, jaldi mat utho.

First, listen to your doctor completely. After a heat stroke, your body needs proper recovery. Once the doc gives you the green light, maybe start with very short, easy walks indoors. Don't push it at all! Gradual recovery is key, don't rush back to intense workouts.

That's rough, hope you're recovering well! Post-heat stroke, focus on hydration. Maybe use a hydration tracker app to ensure you're getting enough fluids. Keep an eye on your body temperature too, if you have a smart thermometer. And definitely follow all medical advice!

Ayyo, heat stroke is no good. Take care of yourself, dear. My ammamma always says to drink lots of tender coconut water and keep the body cool. But really, doctor's advice is primary. Don't go out in the sun and just relax, let your body heal properly.

Dude, heat stroke is scary, so glad you're asking! Just take it super easy, okay? Don't stress too much about getting back to normal too fast. Drink up all the fluids, eat light, and honestly, just sleep. Your body needs proper rest to bounce back. Hope you feel better soon!
