Rash, chills, and redness due to sunburn?!
Question: Rash, chills, and redness due to sunburn!?
How would I treat someone who has developed the chills, and a rash due to sun exposure (along with redness from the sunburn)!. The redness and the above symptoms didn't occur until about a day after the last time of the sun exposure!. Along with the above symptoms, the area under the eyes had become mildly swollen, however after a day, the swelling has gone down significantly!. Pure aloe vera gel has been applied very liberally to areas of symptoms, as well as hydrocordisone cream!. The last time of sun exposure was two days ago!. Is there anything else that has to be done, and are the symptoms severe in any way!?
Note: the rash is itchy, the sunburn areas are warm, and chills are noticeable as said before!. Aloe vera and hydrocordisone cream DO provide relief when applied!.

Answers:
Firstly, how long was this person exposed to the sun for!? How bad is the sun burn!? The problem with getting severly sunburnt is that you can actually develop something call sun stroke, which causes nausea, sometimes vomitting, headaches, sometimes rashes, tiredness ect!. The best thing to do is ensure the person is rested, and kept well hydrated!.
The aloe vera cream is obviously providing relief because it is very soothing to the affected area!. As i said before make sure the person is well hydrated and continue to keep the sunburnt areas on the person moisturised!. The itchyness is mostly likely to be caused by the sunburn having dried out the skin!.
At this stage it is most likely that if the person were going to suffer from heatstroke, it would have happened within 24 hours of the inital symptoms arrising, so id say they will be fine!. Just keep them well hydrated and keep applying the cream!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
