My father has heat exhaustion. what should i tell him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest, fluid, cooling: Typically occurs because of extrenuous activities, especially during hot weather, or just prolonged heat exposure. Older folks get this much easier/faster. In mild cases, resting, plenty of fluids, and keep cool will do fine. More severe case may need hospital care. If his tempt is high...103 or more and having symptoms..Dizziness/headaches/vomitting..Then er. Consult your doc.. Good luck.
