What Causes Headache And Nausea After Exposure To Sun?
Question: I am 28 years of age. I had long sun exposure today and I am now suffering with headache, nausea and a very sore throat. I also had some mild sun exposure last week which resulted in a rash on my chest which has since cleared. I suppose I just want to know if I need medical attention. The headache is very painful and panadine forte has not helped. I have been drinking plenty of water with no help.
Brief Answer:
Possible Mild heat stroke.Will subside on its own
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I understand your concern.
The symptoms in your case have possibly resulted from exposure to sun.
Most of the symptoms will subside spontaneously as it a milder event.
For headache I recommend Tab Brufen 600 mg once a day for 4 days under medical prescription.
You need not worry much.
Thank you.
Maintain adequate hydration.
