Hydrate and rest while also informing your family physician. If improving slowly you are on the right path, otherwise need to take the risk of going to the hospital.

Stay in a cool, ventilated room, laying down with legs above heart level and drinking IV solution (same as pedialyte) or chilled sport drink as much as tolerated in the next 6-8 hours. If symptoms are not improved after 4 hours, go to the hospital.
