As such, the expert advised public to avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight and to drink plenty of fluids frequently.
He also urged the public not to drink artificial beverages but drink natural water, lemon juice, and king coconut.
Further, the medical expert advised parents to make sure their children take a bath twice per day in order to keep dehydration at bay.
