Hello
It is my pleasure to help you today
you have probably suffered from heat exhaustion ,typically when you have heat exhaustion you are very sensitive to heat the following week
drinking water is good but also try to drink drinks like gatorade which would replenish your lost electrolytes from dehydration
stay away from caffeinated drinks and alcohol
take cool shower frequently to offset the heat effect on your body
and stay away from dark or tight cloth
