Best Answer

Heat exhaustion can lead to a more serious condition known as heat stroke. It is extremely important to remove a person suffering heat exhaustion from the source of heat and rehydrate them as quickly as possible. Putting cool compresses on the forehead, neck, armpits, and groin area can help to release excess heat.

If involuntary contractions of the muscle begin to occur, it is necessary to call emergency services. If there is IV trained medical personel on-hand, administering a saline solution is encouraged.
