Heat stroke is a serious medical condition that requires prompt attention. Recognizing heat stroke symptoms is crucial for timely intervention. Some signs to look out for include:   High body temperature - The body temperature rises rapidly in heat stroke, often exceeding 104°F (40°C). Hot, dry skin - The skin may feel hot to the touch and become dry due to decreased sweating. Headache and dizziness - Heat stroke can cause throbbing headaches and lightheadedness. Nausea and vomiting - The heat can upset the stomach, leading to nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Rapid heartbeat - The heart rate may become rapid and strong as the body tries to cool down. Rapid, shallow breathing - Breathing may become fast and shallow as the body struggles to cool down. Altered mental state - Heat stroke can cause confusion, disorientation, irritability, agitation, and seizures.   If you suspect your child is experiencing heat stroke, it's crucial to seek medical attention right away. While waiting for help, move the child to a cooler area, remove excess clothing, and attempt to lower their body temperature by using cool towels or ice packs.
