Maybe you shouldn't have gone to camp. Because it seems that you have had alot of serious problems. With asking all these questions....are you sure you are going to live???

What Are the Treatments?
Heat cramps can usually be alleviated by escaping the heat, drinking salty beverages, and eating salty foods. Gentle massage or firm pressure applied to cramping muscles can alleviate spasms. In severe cases, the victim may need intravenous fluids and salts. If your heat cramps do not go away, call your doctor for advice.
For Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke:
First, GET HELP. It is critical that emergency medical assistance be called as soon as possible. Then, if possible, get the victim to drink, but don't force fluids if the person is confused or has passed out.
The primary treatment for heat exhaustion is replacement of lost fluids and salt. Victims should move to a cool environment, lie flat or with feet raised slightly above head level, and sip a cool, slightly salty beverage -- such as a salty sports drink, salted tomato juice, cool bouillon, or plain drinking water with salt added (one level teaspoon of salt per quart of water).
Heat stroke usually develops rapidly and can cause permanent brain damage or death if not treated promptly. Anyone with heat stroke needs emergency medical attention.
While help is on the way, move the victim into the shade; wrap the victim in cool, wet bedding or clothing; or remove the victim's clothes and sponge his or her body with cool water until help arrives.
Ice packs can be placed on the groin, neck or underarms; or the victim can be fanned by hand or with an electric fan or a blow-dryer set on cold (do not use a blow-dryer that blows only hot air).
If possible, use a thermometer to monitor the person's temperature, and stop cooling treatments if his or her temperature normalizes.
Once at the hospital, a person who has suffered a heat stroke may be given intravenous drugs to control seizures and will likely be confined to bed rest for several days.

eat some salt, like you sprinkle on food.
it actually helps relieve headaches as well as heat exhaustion.
later, when you feel better, have one (or more) of the girls lick you
I say that because you obviously need some very personal attention.

Drink a lot of water and tell a counselor so they can help you decide if you need to see a doctor.
