Karnataka Bidar:In view of the intense heat wave, health experts have urged parents to take special care of their children. Renowned health expert Dr.Mohammad Sohil Hussain has said that it is very important to take precautions to protect children from heatstroke, dehydration and various seasonal diseases during the summer season.He advised parents that by making minor changes in the daily life of children, they can be protected from the dangerous effects of heat.
Avoid letting children go out in the afternoon ☀️
According to Dr.Mohammad Sohil Hussain, the sun's heat is at its highest between 11 am and 4 pm. During this time, children should be prevented from going out unnecessarily because the effects of heat can be more dangerous at that time.
If it is necessary to take children out:
Keep their heads covered
Carry water
Choose shady places
Give children more water and natural drinks 💧
In summer, children's bodies lose water rapidly, which can cause weakness. Therefore, it is important to water children frequently.
Useful drinks:
Plain water
Lemon water
Coconut water
Buttermilk
Fresh fruit juices
These drinks replenish the lack of water and salts in the body.
Wear light and cotton clothes 👕
Dr. Sohil Hussain said that children should always wear light and cotton clothes in summer because:
They keep the body cool
Protects against skin diseases
Sweat dries quickly
Synthetic clothes increase heat and can cause itching quickly.
Include cooling foods in children's diet 🍉
A balanced diet is very important for children's health during summer. Include in your child's diet:
Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Cucumber
Yogurt
Fresh vegetables
Seasonal fruits
These foods cool the body and boost immunity.
Never ignore the symptoms of heat stroke ⚠️
Dr. Muhammad Sohil Hussain warned that if the following symptoms appear, consult a doctor immediately:
High fever
Dizziness
Severe weakness in the body
Nausea or vomiting
Fainting
Abnormal body heat
These symptoms may indicate heat stroke.
It is also important to take special care of cleanliness 🧼
The chances of infection increase in summer, so parents should:
Give children clean water
Inculcate the habit of washing hands
Avoid eating substandard items from outside
This precaution protects children from stomach and skin diseases.
