Children and teens happen to be more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses than adults. While enjoying time outside with your family this summer, make sure to keep an eye out for the signs of heat exhaustion. ☀️

If you notice the following symptoms, move your child inside to rest and give them a water or an electrolyte drink. If there is no improvement or your child is unable to take fluids, call us or take your child to an emergency room immediately.

To prevent heat-related illnesses before they develop, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids during outdoor activities, wear lightweight clothing, go outside during cooler times of the day, and take regular breaks indoors or in shady areas to keep cool. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns!
