Patients are arriving in thousands
If we talk about the medicine department, thousands of patients are reaching OPD in Medical College, Ursala Hospital every day. The number of patients in Ursala Hospital and Kashiram Hospital has also increased by about 30 percent.
30 percent increase in patients in OPD.
At least 8 to 10% of these patients have suffered from heatstroke. Medical College Professor Dr. JS Kushwaha said that due to extreme heat, the number of patients has increased significantly in the last one week.
Symptoms are pain in legs, excessive thirst
Dr. Kushwaha told that initially people feel pain in their legs and are more thirsty. Weakness is felt in the body. Such people should immediately become alert and take care of themselves. A little carelessness can turn into heat stroke. If heat stroke occurs, it becomes difficult to save the patient’s life.
body temperature reaches 105
Dr. Kushwaha said that when a person suffers from heatstroke, his body temperature directly reaches 105-106 degrees, which directly affects the brain. In such a situation, it is very difficult to bring down the fever by giving medicine to the patient. At such times, the patient has to be applied cold water or bathed with ice water or kept in an AC room.
Risks like stroke increase due to lack of water in the body.
cover the body
Professor Dr. JS Kushwaha said that while leaving the house, cover the body completely, if possible, do not go out from 12 noon to 4 pm, because during this time the sun is at its maximum. Consume more seasonal fruits. Keep drinking water from time to time.
