Question:
Can the medicines for fever prevent heat strokes?
Answers:
Some of the homeopathic remedies for fever also treat sun stroke and can act as preventive medicines for sun/heat stroke.
When going out in hot sun take:
Natrum Mur 30
Glonoine 30
3 drops in 1/4th glass of water; preferably empty-stomached or 30-45 minutes before or after meals.
If you feel weak after a day in the sun, you could be suffering from heat exhaustion. This occurs when the water and electrolytes you perspire are not replaced quickly enough. While cooling off and sipping fruit drinks, take Veratrum album if you feel dizzy, nauseous, and experience cold sweats. But if severe muscle cramps accompany the fatigue, take Cuprum metallicum instead.
Confusion and fever after you’ve spent time in the hot sun are symptoms of heat stroke, a medical emergency. While you cool off and wait for help, take Belladonna for fever, bright red cheeks, dilated pupils, dry skin, and a throbbing headache. Glonoine is given for similar symptoms, but when the headache is bursting. If you have suffered heat stroke before , you are more susceptible, so keep these remedies with you (preferably in 30C potency) when you need to be in the sun.
