What to do in case of heat stroke?
During summer, it gets extremely hot here, and I've heard stories about heatstroke being very dangerous. What are the immediate steps to take if someone gets a heatstroke, especially when outside?

Heat stroke is serious, bhai. Don't mess around. Get the person into a cool place immediately, remove extra clothes, and try to cool them down with wet cloths or by fanning. And call an ambulance (108) ASAP. It's an emergency, no time for heroics.

In severe heat, the body's agni (fire) becomes too much. If someone has a heat stroke, immediately move them to a cool, shaded area. Loosen their clothes. You can apply cool, wet cloths to their skin, especially neck, armpits, and groin. And call for medical help quickly. Hydration is key but careful if they are unconscious.

This is a medical emergency. First, call 108. While waiting, move the person to a cooler place, loosen clothing, and try to cool them rapidly by putting cool, wet cloths on their skin or fanning them. Don't give fluids if they are unconscious. Time is critical to prevent organ damage.

If you suspect heat stroke, this isn't a DIY situation. This is a life-threatening condition. You need emergency medical intervention. Call an ambulance (108) immediately. Do NOT rely on unverified online 'remedies'. Get professional medical help.

My doctor always says with heat stroke, rapid cooling is the most important first aid while waiting for medical help. Move the person to shade, immerse them in cool water if possible, or apply ice packs to neck, armpits, and groin. And ensure emergency services (108) are called immediately. It can be fatal otherwise.
