Question
Can a two-year-old baby suffer from heatstroke?
Answer
If a two-year-old baby is exposed to hot weather for too long or lacks appropriate heatstroke prevention measures, they are at risk of suffering from heatstroke. Symptoms of heatstroke include cold, moist skin, high body temperature, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, and loss of consciousness. If you suspect your baby is suffering from heatstroke, immediately move them to a cool, well-ventilated area, loosen their clothing to help cool them down, and provide them with an adequate amount of water. If symptoms are severe, seek immediate medical attention. To prevent heatstroke, avoid letting your baby be outdoors during the hottest part of the day and ensure they have enough water and rest. Additionally, using hats, sunscreen, and lightweight, breathable clothing can help keep your baby cool during hot weather.
