Heat stroke is very common in summer, but some people cannot distinguish between heat stroke and fever. In fact, there are many differences between the two, and the symptoms are also different. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between these two symptoms in order to receive better treatment. So what is the difference between heatstroke and fever?
The difference between heatstroke and fever
Heatstroke is a condition where the external environment is too high, causing the body's heat to be unable to dissipate. Often caused by exposure to scorching sun or heavy physical labor in high temperature environments. Fever is caused by viral or bacterial infections within the body. The causes of the two are completely different. When symptoms such as fever or heatstroke occur, physical cooling can be performed first, and observation can be carried out after the temperature drops. If the body temperature does not rise again, it is heatstroke. Rest well and pay attention to ventilation. However, if the body temperature drops and then rises again, it may be a fever.
Does heatstroke cause fever
I will. Heat stroke is a reaction that occurs inside human cells in a high-temperature environment, leading to cellular pathology, which is called heat stroke. Heat stroke and fever have two stages. The first stage is when there is a reaction inside the cells in a high-temperature environment and fever occurs. The age group with fever in this stage is mainly infants and young children. When there is an internal reaction within the cell, there is usually no excessive fever.
The second stage of fever is when the physiological activity of pathological cells decreases or tends to stagnate, and the intercellular circulation, i.e. metabolism, cannot change with the changes of pathological cells, causing intercellular circulation disorders and leading to fever. This type of fever is very rapid, with a fever of over 41 degrees Celsius in about 30 minutes.
It is essential to know the difference between heatstroke and fever. Because there is still a big difference between heatstroke and fever, only by treating the disease correctly and understanding it more can we distinguish between the different diseases. I hope to take preventive measures against diseases in daily life, and even if there is a disease, find the cause and seek timely diagnosis and treatment. Especially in summer, you can eat more food to prevent heatstroke.
