Hi Heatstroke is due to rapid reduction of the core body temperature due to prolonged exposure of body to higher temperatures. Treatment basically consists of immediate cooling of body by fluid replacements and electrolyte correction. If you have a heat stroke, please go to ER immediately. for further evaluation and management. Please visit a General Surgeon for further evaluation and management of wound on left elbow. In case of further queries, please feel free to write back to me. Regards' Dr Prashik Meshram
