Recognizing and Responding to Heatstroke and Dehydration During Intense Summer Heat

As India experiences intense summer heat with temperatures exceeding 40°C, distinguishing between dehydration and heatstroke is vital. Dehydration causes symptoms like thirst and tiredness, while heatstroke involves a rapid rise in body temperature above 40°C, confusion, and potential loss of consciousness. Immediate action for heatstroke includes moving the person to a cooler place, loosening clothing, cooling the body, and seeking emergency help. Recognizing these differences can prevent serious health risks during heatwaves.
