severe heat wave
Extreme heat is being experienced in various parts of the country, with temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius. Nautapa is going to start from 25th May to 2nd June, due to which the temperature is likely to increase further. In this situation, the Government of India has advised people to be alert and not be careless. Experts say that children are most at risk of heat stroke this summer.
Advice for child safety
The National Health Mission (NHM) has issued a warning that newborns and young children are highly vulnerable to heat stroke. Carelessness in summer can be serious for them. Young children’s bodies absorb heat quickly and they also sweat less, which can cause their temperature to rise rapidly.
ways to keep safe
Health experts believe that children can be kept safe during this summer season with proper care and caution. It is important to seek medical advice immediately for any heat-related problem. NHM has suggested some measures to protect children from heat stroke. Children should be kept in a cool and ventilated place and should not be left in direct sunlight or in a hot room.
child care
Children should be dressed in light and loose clothes. Bathing them with cold water or wiping them with a wet cloth can also be beneficial. If the child is irritable, sleeps too much, vomits, has high fever or experiences difficulty in breathing, contact the doctor immediately.
special vigilance
According to experts, it can be difficult to identify the symptoms of heat stroke in infants, so parents should take special care. In summer, children should not be taken outside between 12 noon and 4 pm.
