Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi have expressed serious concerns regarding the impact of rising temperatures on infants. During a recent press conference, they highlighted that children are particularly vulnerable to heat, absorbing heat faster and dehydrating more quickly than adults. Dr. Sheffali Gulati, a professor in the pediatrics department, pointed out that one in four children globally faced extreme heat exposure as of 2020, with 76% of children in South Asia at risk. Symptoms of heat-related illness include irritability, excessive sweating, and fatigue. Caregivers are urged to monitor these signs and ensure infants wear light clothing and stay hydrated. Immediate medical attention is critical for signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke, as dehydration can severely affect vital organs. To mitigate risks, doctors recommend providing children with small, frequent meals and adequate fluids.
