Symptoms of heat exhaustion can include leg cramps, headaches, dizziness, nausea and fever. Call a doctor for help. Let the child rest in a cool place and drink plenty of liquids like water and sports drinks. Without treatment, heat exhaustion can turn into heat stroke, which can be life threatening. These are not just for men.
Hernias can occur in males and females of all ages and can appear in various locations.
A hernia is a protrusion of tissue that forces its way through or between muscles. Organs inside the abdominal cavity can force their way through a weakened muscle to create a hernia. Usually hernias are located in the abdominal wall. Even infants can have hernias. If you suspect that your child may have one, talk with your doctor to discuss the various methods of treatment, which depend on the location, severity and type of hernia.
