A doctor should be called if any of the following conditions accompany sunburn:

• fever over 101° F
• fluid-filled blisters over half the affected body part
• dizziness
• visual difficulties

These symptoms can indicate a more serious problem such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. These are both serious conditions that require medical assistance.
