How do i get rid of heat stroke really quickly?

Heat stroke: You will be taken to an emergency facility and your core temperature will be cooled down as rapidly as possible in addition to adequate fluds administration and general medical support for convulsions, etc. It is not something minor.

You cant: True heat stroke patients are too sick to care for themselves. They are frequently comatose or lethargic. Thte best way to cool is evaporative cooling - continuous water spray with big fans. You probably mean heat exhaustion. Water electrolyte cold shower.
