Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must be cautious in summer
Hot weather can easily trigger the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Showering with cold water can worsen heat rash
In the summer, children are prone to heat rash. Some parents like to use cold showers to relieve it. However, experts point out: wiping a baby with cold water will cause the skin's capillaries to constrict suddenly, hindering sweat excretion, which can worsen the heat rash. Parents should use water slightly warmer than the child's skin temperature for bathing. After the bath, do not immediately apply powders or other cooling products, as they will mix with sweat, clog pores, and can also cause or worsen heat rash.
