be careful! Government

If you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, you can prepare yourself for heat wave-related problems by practicing first aid. Drink water to rehydrate, loosen your clothing a bit if possible, move immediately to a cool place, sponge off water. Also, if someone is unconscious, do not forcefully give him food or water.

Take these precautions during summer season:-

lack of control over throat muscles
Unconscious people are unable to control their throat muscles. When someone is unconscious, do not give him food or water, because in this situation suffocation can occur.

not being active
When you feed food or liquids to an unconscious person, the food or water goes into the lungs instead of the stomach. This can cause aspiration pneumonia, which can damage the lungs.

oral and dental injuries
Forcing something into the mouth of an unconscious person can cause physical injury, such as damage to teeth, gums, or the inside of the mouth. Take care of an unconscious person instead of force-feeding him.

relaxed atmosphere
If someone is indoors, turn on a fan or air conditioner to help cool the temperature. This will help reduce their exposure to heat and give their body a chance to cool down.

clothes and cold compress
When someone is unconscious, apply a cool, wet cloth or towel to the forehead, neck and groin area, as these are areas where blood vessels are close to the surface of the skin, helping to reduce heat

Check some vital signs
Confirm that you are continuously monitoring the person's vital signs, including breathing and pulse rate. If there is no improvement, immediately consult a specialist.

rehydrate with water
If someone is alert and a little active, give them small sips of cool water. This will help replenish lost fluids.
