If you or someone you know is experiencing hypothermia, the first step is to move them to a warm, dry place.
Drinking warm fluids such as tea, soup or hot chocolate can help to raise the body temperature. Avoid drinks that contain alcohol or caffeine.
Apply warm compresses to the chest, neck, armpits, & groin areas to help warm the body.
Light exercise can help to generate body heat. However, it's important to avoid strenuous activities that can increase heart rate & make the body lose more heat.
Applying heat packs to the body can help to increase body temperature. Use heat packs that are not too hot & avoid direct contact with the skin.
Massaging the arms and legs can help to improve blood circulation, which can help to generate body heat.
Use a thermometer to monitor the body temperature. If the temperature drops below 95°F (35°C), seek medical attention immediately.
