1-year-old baby heat stroke?

Heat stroke in a 1-year-old is a serious emergency. Body temperature rises to dangerous levels (40°C or higher), and the baby can no longer cool down.
Signs include:
- High fever (usually 39°C+, dry)
- Skin hot, red, and dry (no sweating)
- Fussiness or crying, or oddly very calm and sleepy
- Confusion, dizziness, passing out
- Fast heartbeat and fast breathing
- Vomiting
- Cool, damp skin (early stage)
What to do:
Call 112 immediately if you suspect heat stroke. While waiting, move baby right away to shade or a cool, air-conditioned place. Don't strip completely; drape lightly with a thin cloth and swap it often. Gently wipe the forehead, underarms, and groin with cold (not icy) cloths. If baby is alert and not vomiting, offer small sips of water or breast milk. Never give fever-reducing medicine.
Key reminder: Heat stroke is not something to manage at home — hospital care is needed. The best prevention is to avoid direct sun between 10 AM and 4 PM on hot days.
