   to right matey, its gotten to me today, my left ankle has swollen way out of proportion, just had a cool shower, waste of time, i just cant escape the heat n humidity, good luck for your parents, and ya nan 

Wet towels mate, around your neck and head, or all over if you wish.  Far more effective than a cold shower. Drink plenty of water, better with a pinch of salt and lemon added

It’s what people used to do (still do) here when they can’t afford or don’t have aircon

Second that advice. Damp towel draped over the back of your neck is instant air-con. Also get some tonic water, not the cheap stuff, Ssssch you know who's. The quinine will help prevent any cramps caused by dehydration.
