1. Do not use intravenous drip after heat stroke

Heatstroke is a general term for the symptoms of temperature regulation disorders, water and electrolyte metabolism disorders and nervous system dysfunction caused by long-term exposure to high temperature and heat radiation.

In case of heatstroke, it does not mean that you absolutely do not need salt water. This is because during the process of heatstroke, some people will feel nausea, vomit, and lose a large amount of electrolytes, so they need to replenish salt water.
