Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Heatstroke patients experience chills, yet simultaneously perceive a rise in body temperature, accompanied by a rapid and marked increase in core body temperature—particularly at the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus. At this stage, the body’s heat production increases significantly, while heat dissipation decreases, resulting in pronounced fever.
Diet should be light and moderate; avoid high-fat, greasy foods. Drink plenty of water and consume abundant fresh fruits and vegetables to support metabolism. To prevent exhaustion, ensure adequate rest and sufficient sleep, and take precautions against common colds.
