But along with trips to the pool, park, and other outdoor attractions comes the risk of heat-related illness. So, what can you do to make sure your children are safe and healthy this summer, even as temperatures rise?<\/p>\n<p>According to Maureen Donnelly, RN, MSN, Injury Prevention Coordinator at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> and Safe Kids Southern NJ Coalition Coordinator, the keys factors to beating the heat are knowledge and prevention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best way to protect your children from dehydration, heat exhaustion, and\/or heat stroke is to know the signs and plan ahead,\u201d Donnelly says. \u201cThese symptoms also apply to adults, so be careful, especially when temperatures rise above 90\u00b0 F.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Signs of Heat-Related Illness<\/h2>\n<p>Donnelly says that heat-related hazards can come on quickly, so it\u2019s important to recognize the symptoms and know how to treat them.<\/p>\n<h2>Symptoms of Dehydration, Heat Exhaustion, and Heat Stroke<\/h2>\n<h3>Dehydration<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Thirst<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Feeling dizzy\/lightheaded<\/li>\n<li>Dry skin and mouth<\/li>\n<li>Dark yellow urine<\/li>\n<li>Increased heart rate and breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Heat Exhaustion<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy sweating<\/li>\n<li>Headache\/nausea\/vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Cold or clammy skin<\/li>\n<li>Muscle cramps and weakness<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness\/confusion<\/li>\n<li>Fast, weak pulse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Heat Stroke<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>High body temperature (&gt; 103\u00b0 F)<\/li>\n<li>Headache\/nausea\/vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Hot, red, dry, skin<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness\/confusion<\/li>\n<li>Loss of consciousness<\/li>\n<li>Fast, strong pulse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment of Heat-Related Illness<\/h2>\n<p>If your child is dehydrated, stop their activity immediately and move them to a cool place. Give your child fluids. Drinks such as sports drinks are good choices because they have salt and minerals, which help restore the body\u2019s electrolytes.<\/p>\n<p>Heat exhaustion is more serious. Follow the same instructions for dehydration. You can also help lower the child\u2019s body temperature with cool cloths or ice packs. If symptoms get worse or last longer than one hour, seek medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeat stroke occurs when the body can no longer regulate its temperature,\u201d Donnelly says. \u201cThis is the most serious heat-related illness, and you should call 911 immediately.\u201d While waiting for assistance, try to cool your child quickly by moving to a cooler area and applying ice packs to their neck and armpits.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips to Beat the Heat<\/h2>\n<p>If you plan to be outside, there are several steps you can take to protect your children from heat-related illness:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stay hydrated<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0Pack a water bottle and encourage your children to drink\u00a0frequently, even if they don\u2019t ask for it. On hot days, infants taking bottles can be given additional breast milk or formula, but they should not be given water, especially in the first six months of life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose water-rich foods:<\/strong> Some of the best fruits to snack on in the heat include\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emedihealth.com\/nutrition\/watermelon-seeds-benefits-risks\">watermelon<\/a>, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emedihealth.com\/nutrition\/apple-benefits\">oranges<\/a>. Water-rich vegetables, such as cucumber, celery, and zucchini, can also help to provide hydration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dress lightly<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0Dress your children in clothing that is light-colored, lightweight, and limited to one layer of absorbent material that will maximize the evaporation of sweat. Kids have a lower capacity for sweating than adults.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan for extra rest time<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0Heat can often make children (and their parents!) feel tired and irritable. Spend time indoors regularly to cool off, rest, and drink water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep cool<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0When your children feel hot, jump in the pool or water (if available), mist them with water, or apply cool cloths to their skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Never leave children in a car<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0The inside of a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/safety-prevention\/on-the-go\/Pages\/Prevent-Child-Deaths-in-Hot-Cars.aspx\">car<\/a>\u00a0can become dangerously hot in just a short amount of time, even with the windows open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What can you do during the dog days of summer when it\u2019s just too hot to go out?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plan a movie marathon:<\/strong> Pick your children\u2019s favorite flicks, grab some snacks, and enjoy a movie matinee when the heat is most intense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visit an aquarium or a local museum:<\/strong> Take a day trip to your nearest indoor attraction and spend the day enjoying a fun, educational experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Head to the mall: <\/strong>Enjoy a snack and check out what\u2019s new at your favorite stores. It will be time to shop for \u201cback to school\u201d before you know it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stop by the library:<\/strong> Spending an afternoon at the library is a great way to keep kids cool, busy, engaged, and enlightened. Many libraries offer free story hour and other activities for kids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get out the craft supplies:<\/strong> You know all those arts and crafts gifts that your children got for the holidays? It\u2019s time to break them out and let your kids\u2019 imaginations run wild!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Summer is meant for fun and relaxation for the whole family. But as the heat sizzles, be mindful of the risk factors that can come with it.

Pero junto con los viajes a la piscina, el parque y otras atracciones al aire libre, existe el riesgo de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. Entonces, \u00bfqu\u00e9 puede hacer para asegurarse de que sus hijos est\u00e9n seguros y saludables este verano, incluso cuando aumentan las temperaturas?<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan Maureen Donnelly, RN, MSN, coordinadora de prevenci\u00f3n de lesiones en Cooper University Health Care y coordinadora de Safe Kids Southern NJ Coalition, los factores clave para combatir el calor son el conocimiento y la prevenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa mejor manera de proteger a sus hijos de la deshidrataci\u00f3n, el agotamiento por calor y\/o el golpe de calor es conocer las se\u00f1ales y planificar con anticipaci\u00f3n\u201d, dice Donnelly. \u201cEstos s\u00edntomas tambi\u00e9n se aplican a los adultos, as\u00ed que tenga cuidado, especialmente cuando las temperaturas superen los 90\u00b0 F\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Signos de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Donnelly dice que los peligros relacionados con el calor pueden aparecer r\u00e1pidamente, por lo que es importante reconocer los s\u00edntomas y saber c\u00f3mo tratarlos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S\u00edntomas de deshidrataci\u00f3n, agotamiento por calor y golpe de calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deshidraci\u00f3n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sed<\/li>\n<li>Dolor de cabeza<\/li>\n<li>Sentirse mareado\/aturdido<\/li>\n<li>Piel y boca secas<\/li>\n<li>orina de color amarillo oscuro<\/li>\n<li>Aumento de la frecuencia card\u00edaca y la respiraci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Agotamiento por calor<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sudoraci\u00f3n intensa<\/li>\n<li>Dolor de cabeza\/n\u00e1useas\/v\u00f3mitos<\/li>\n<li>Piel fr\u00eda o h\u00fameda<\/li>\n<li>Calambres musculares y debilidad<\/li>\n<li>Mareos\/confusi\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>Pulso r\u00e1pido y d\u00e9bil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Golpe de calor<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Temperatura corporal alta (&gt; 103\u00b0 F)<\/li>\n<li>Dolor de cabeza\/n\u00e1useas\/v\u00f3mitos<\/li>\n<li>Piel caliente, roja, seca<\/li>\n<li>Mareos\/confusi\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>P\u00e9rdida de consciencia<\/li>\n<li>Pulso r\u00e1pido y fuerte<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tratamiento de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si su hijo est\u00e1 deshidratado, detenga su actividad inmediatamente y mu\u00e9valo a un lugar fresco. Dele l\u00edquidos a su hijo. Las bebidas como las bebidas deportivas son buenas opciones porque tienen sal y minerales, que ayudan a restaurar los electrolitos del cuerpo.<\/p>\n<p>El agotamiento por calor es m\u00e1s serio. Siga las mismas instrucciones para la deshidrataci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n puede ayudar a bajar la temperatura corporal del ni\u00f1o con pa\u00f1os fr\u00edos o bolsas de hielo. Si los s\u00edntomas empeoran o duran m\u00e1s de una hora, busque atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl golpe de calor ocurre cuando el cuerpo ya no puede regular su temperatura\u201d, dice Donnelly. \u201cEsta es la enfermedad m\u00e1s grave relacionada con el calor y debe llamar al 911 de inmediato\u201d. Mientras espera ayuda, intente refrescar a su hijo r\u00e1pidamente movi\u00e9ndose a un \u00e1rea m\u00e1s fresca y aplicando bolsas de hielo en el cuello y las axilas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consejos para combatir el calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si planea estar afuera, hay varios pasos que puede tomar para proteger a sus hijos de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mant\u00e9ngase hidratado: empaque una botella de agua y anime a sus hijos a beber con frecuencia, incluso si no lo piden. En los d\u00edas calurosos, a los beb\u00e9s que toman biberones se les puede dar leche materna o f\u00f3rmula adicional, pero no se les debe dar agua, especialmente en los primeros seis meses de vida.<\/li>\n<li>Elija alimentos ricos en agua: algunas de las mejores frutas para picar en el calor incluyen la sand\u00eda, la pi\u00f1a, las uvas, los ar\u00e1ndanos y las naranjas. Las verduras ricas en agua, como el pepino, el apio y el calabac\u00edn, tambi\u00e9n pueden ayudar a proporcionar hidrataci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>V\u00edstase con ropa ligera: vista a sus hijos con ropa de colores claros, liviana y limitada a una capa de material absorbente que maximizar\u00e1 la evaporaci\u00f3n del sudor. Los ni\u00f1os tienen unamenor capacidad de sudoraci\u00f3n que los adultos.<\/li>\n<li>Planifique un tiempo de descanso adicional: el calor a menudo puede hacer que los ni\u00f1os (\u00a1y sus padres!) se sientan cansados \u200b\u200be irritables. Pase tiempo en el interior con regularidad para refrescarse, descansar y beber agua.<\/li>\n<li>Mant\u00e9ngase fresco: cuando sus hijos sientan calor, salte a la piscina o al agua (si est\u00e1 disponible), roc\u00edelos con agua o aplique pa\u00f1os fr\u00edos en la piel.<br \/>\nNunca deje a los ni\u00f1os en un autom\u00f3vil: el interior de un autom\u00f3vil puede calentarse peligrosamente en poco tiempo, incluso con las ventanas abiertas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 puedes hacer durante los d\u00edas caninos del verano cuando hace demasiado calor para salir?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Planifique una marat\u00f3n de pel\u00edculas: elija las pel\u00edculas favoritas de sus hijos, tome algunos refrigerios y disfrute de una matin\u00e9 de pel\u00edculas cuando el calor sea m\u00e1s intenso.<\/li>\n<li>Visite un acuario o un museo local: realice una excursi\u00f3n de un d\u00eda a la atracci\u00f3n interior m\u00e1s cercana y pase el d\u00eda disfrutando de una experiencia divertida y educativa.<\/li>\n<li>Dir\u00edjase al centro comercial: disfrute de un refrigerio y vea las novedades en sus tiendas favoritas. Ser\u00e1 hora de comprar para el &#8220;regreso a la escuela&#8221; antes de que te des cuenta.<\/li>\n<li>Pase por la biblioteca: pasar una tarde en la biblioteca es una excelente manera de mantener a los ni\u00f1os frescos, ocupados, comprometidos e informados. Muchas bibliotecas ofrecen horas de cuentos gratis y otras actividades para ni\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<li>Saque los suministros para manualidades: \u00bfConoce todos esos regalos de artes y manualidades que sus hijos recibieron para las fiestas? \u00a1Es hora de romperlos y dejar volar la imaginaci\u00f3n de sus hijos!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>El verano est\u00e1 destinado a la diversi\u00f3n y la relajaci\u00f3n para toda la familia. Pero a medida que el calor chisporrotea, tenga en cuenta los factores de riesgo que pueden surgir con \u00e9l.
