Dryness and weakness in the mouth is an indication of sunburn
During the holidays, children spend most of their time outdoors. Sunstroke is more common in hot weather. Prolonged exposure to the sun causes fluid loss. If you have any doubts, you should pay attention to them.
- Dry mouth
- Weakness, fatigue
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Severe unconsciousness, loss of consciousness
Fluid intake should be increased during sun exposure
Noon is the time when the risk is greatest. If you have any of the above conditions and you suspect that the sun is setting, take the child to a cool place to rest. Children should be fed sparingly and often. Fluid intake should be increased and painkillers may be given to children who may present with a headache. It is also useful to take a shower with warm water.
Unhygienic foods can damage the digestive system. Excessive water intake during the summer months can dilute stomach acid. Microbes in unwashed foods pass into the intestines. In this case, diarrhea or vomiting occurs due to the proliferation of germs in the intestines. Depending on the type of microbe received, there may be bloody diarrhea and fever. Go to the doctor without wasting time.
Tick risk
It is important to prevent the danger of ticks in the summer. It is necessary to see a doctor, especially if you see a black spot on the skin after spending time in grassy areas. Ticks that stick to the skin grow by feeding on blood. The most frightening disease when a tick bites is the Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. But not every tick carries this microbe.
