The length of the recovery period after heat stroke varies from person to person. On average, the initial recovery phase takes several days to a week. During this time, the body needs ample rest and rehydration to restore normal functioning. Medical professionals typically recommend intravenous fluids to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. In extreme cases, hospitalization may be necessary for close monitoring and specialized care. After the initial recovery phase, it's recommended to gradually return to normal activities and closely follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Each person’s recovery timeline will be different, so it's essential to consult a doctor for personalized guidance.
