While waiting for medical treatment, those experiencing heatstroke are typically able to lessen symptoms by moving to a cooler location or into shade, pouring water or applying a wet towel onto the skin, and applying ice packs to the head, neck, and armpits. At a hospital or clinic, patients with heatstroke may be treated with ice-water baths or packs and the administration of IV fluids to aid rehydration.
