Treatment:
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are both caused by excess and direct exposure to heat. Heat stroke is more severe than heat exhaustion and requires urgent medical treatment. Heat exhaustion can often be relieved through manual hydration (water drinking, cooling etc).
If in doubt, always consult a medical practitioner. To a lay person, the signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion may appear to be similar.
In a heat stroke patient, the body temperature will be much higher.
They are both very dangerous and risky medical situations, but Heat Stroke can be Life Threatening.
Either heat stroke (the more serious condition) or heat exhaustion (potentially a precursor to heat stroke) may be treated with cool packs.---Heat exhaustion (aka heat stress) is hyperthermia (overheating) brought on by dehydration (excessive water loss). It can be initiated by hot environmental temperatures, or limited fluids, or inadequate salt intake.Treatment for heat exhaustion includes:moving the victim to cooler, shaded locationloosen/remove clothingapply ice packs: neck, groin, armpitsdrink 1-2 quarts of fluidsContraindicated are old treatments which included alcohol bath/rub and administering salt tablets.
When core temperature crosses the 100F line, I would say it's become "moderately serious". Other symptomatic concerns would be symptoms of heat exhaustion and moderate dehydrtation. Heat stroke I'd categorize as more than moderately serious, as I would a core temp of 101F or more. I'm assuming you actually did mean "hyperthermia" and not "hypothermia".
Heat exhaustion can lead to a more serious condition known as heat stroke. It is extremely important to remove a person suffering heat exhaustion from the source of heat and rehydrate them as quickly as possible. Putting cool compresses on the forehead, neck, armpits, and groin area can help to release excess heat. If involuntary contractions of the muscle begin to occur, it is necessary to call emergency services. If there is IV trained medical personel on-hand, administering a saline solution is encouraged.
heat exhaustion and heat stroke, cold injury and particularly vulnerable to Osgood Schlatter's disease and they are also not categorized as miniature adults.

less harmful
alcohol causes dehydration which makes you more vulnerable to heat stroke
If they are still sweating and have normal-cool skin, remove them from the source of heat, elevate their legs and do what you can to cool them off. You can remove clothing, fan them, and try to give them sips of water. If their skin is dry and hot, remove them from heat and cool them down immediately. Apply cold packs to their necks, armpits, and groin. Wet them with cool water and fan them as much as possible. This is more serious and the patient should be transported immediately.

I believe that I had a mild heat stroke and went undiagnosed by the doctor that I saw. 4 years after my incedent and during, I get a rapid heart beat, nervous, and have to take deep breathes to catch my breathe. I avoid doing work outside during summer heats.
Players require more fluids (often with electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium added) in order to minimize the risk of dehydration. Dehydration can lead to leg cramps, and even dizziness and heat exhaustion, among other things - and even heat stroke, in extreme cases.
Heatstroke can happen when your body gets too hot, or it can happen after heat exhaustion. Heatstroke is much more serious than heat exhaustion. Heatstroke can kill you. People with heatstroke may seem confused. They may have seizures or go into a coma. Most people with heatstroke also have a fever.i hope this answered ur question
