Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could infant heatstroke cause a fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, infant heatstroke can cause fever, with body temperature possibly rising to 40 degrees Celsius or higher. Other symptoms you may notice include:Although he may feel very hot, he might not sweat. (This is one of the most typical symptoms of heatstroke.)
His skin may become red, hot, and dry.
He may lose his sense of direction and feel drowsy. In severe cases, he may even fall into a coma.
When a child experiences heatstroke, the first thing you must do is rush to the hospital and lower the child's temperature as quickly as possible.
