Recently, many schools have begun to start final exams one after another. After the exams are over, the summer vacation that children are most looking forward to has officially arrived. However, many parents are still very worried about whether their children will encounter any accidents if they are left at home alone.
There is one problem that is not easily noticed by parents, and that is indoor heat stroke.
In recent days, various places have issued orange high temperature warnings one after another, and the temperature has climbed to around 38 degrees. Although children are at home and the indoor temperature has dropped, many children still suffer from indoor heat stroke every year.
Usually, indoor heat stroke occurs when the elderly and children are alone at home. The weather is hot in summer. In order to sleep comfortably at night, many families will close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. However, after getting up, the elderly are often reluctant to turn on the air conditioner and fan in order to save money.
At this time, the problem arises. If the windows are not opened in time for ventilation, the indoor air will not circulate for a long time and the temperature will be high. In this environment, it is easy to suffer from heat stroke.
There is another very important reason. When we stay indoors and reduce activity, blood circulation will also slow down, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke.
You may feel dizzy and have a headache at first, which may cause people to misunderstand whether you have not woken up. If you choose to go to bed at this time, you are more likely to suffer from heat stroke in your sleep.
Symptoms of heatstroke include dizziness, rapid breathing, and weakness. Therefore, parents should educate their children as early as possible about the health knowledge of opening windows for ventilation. If these symptoms occur, they should first open windows for ventilation to relieve the symptoms. Secondly, you must prepare relevant medicines at home. Taking heat-relieving medicines in time can greatly reduce symptoms.
Families with elderly people and children at home during the summer must keep this in mind.
