Question: What does this mean regarding body temp?
Sally slipped and fell waist deep into a stream. Sam knew that this was getting really dangerous and that Sally could suffer a rapid drop in body temperature, known as hypothermia. Sam kept Sally walking but Sally complained that she was feeling light headed and that her hands and feet felt pins and needles. She started stumbling and complained that she could not feel her feet at all. Sally lay down and Sam was terrified as Sally’s skin was cold and pale, she was shivering uncontrollably and she was very drowsy.

Says right in there: Hypothermia - rapid drop in body temperature; and possibly frostbite if he had her out of the stream walking around in the cold!
Due to all of a sudden fall in cold stream water, her brain might have taken the incidence as a shock .We should help her and console to come out of that shock and give her warm liquids to drink.she should advised for some exercises of yoga as of breathing and exhaling and also complete bed rest.Children and young persons are more likely get into hypothermia while swiming as surface area while swiming is very less as compared to cold water and all the blood moves on outer parts of body i.e. muscles of hand.
