To beat the heat one should not ditch the salt at all as the heatwave will cause more sweating and removal of salt from the body can cause deficiency.

Small babies have fewer sweat glands than adults and their temperature regulating systems is not fully developed and therefore they need special care to avoid diseases.

Also, eating spicy food, avoiding cold showers, using feather pillows, covering bald head and switching of appliances that produce heat can help protect from the heatwave.
