Heatwave alert: Tips to combat heat and high temperature
Central government has issued some tips to combat heat and high temperature. Suggestions to combat the heat included “looking out for elderly or sick individuals living alone. Keep your homes cool by using curtains, shutters, or sunshades during the day, and open windows at night. It’s advisable to stay on lower floors during the day. Use fans and damp clothes to cool down.” The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning about heatwaves and “extreme heat”. It is expected between April and May. Dr. Saibal Chakravorty is a Senior Consultant in Internal Medicine at Metro Hospital, Noida. He explained that heat waves can lead to dehydration. It results in a significant loss of fluids and excessive sweating. “If left untreated, dehydration can lead to various health issues. It includes heat exhaustion and heatstroke. These can be life-threatening and may require hospitalization. Severe dehydration can also contribute to kidney problems,” Dr. Chakravorty warned. To prevent heat-related conditions like sunburn and heat rash, doctors recommend prioritizing hydration by carrying a water bottle. Drink water from time to time even if you don’t feel thirsty when going outside.
