Heat stroke
- Cool the body of a heatstroke victim immediately.
- If possible, put him in cool water; wrap him in cool wet clothes; or sponge his skin with cool water, rubbing alcohol, ice, or cold packs.
- Once the victim's temperature drops to about 101 F, you may lay him in the recovery position in a cool room.
- If the temperature begins to rise again, you will need to repeat the cooling process.
- If he/she is able to drink, you may give him some water.
- Do not give a heatstroke victim any kind of medication.
- You should watch for signs of shock while waiting for medical attention.
