    Treatment for sunstroke includes cooling down the affected person by lowering their body temperature to the normal level. Dr Khalid said:

    If the affected person is conscious, they should be made to drink fluids, such as water or any cold drink. Hot drinks and caffeine should be avoided because they will increase dehydration levels. If the person is unconscious, use cool water (not cold) by applying a wet flannel or face-cloth to the skin. The affected person should be exposed to a fan or an air stream to dry out their body and maintain the health of the brain and body organ function.
