Not necessarily.
Allopathic medication for highland red focuses on improving skin lesions and vasodilation and preventing complications. Essentially the effectiveness of treatment depends on the degree of skin damage and the progression of the patient’s condition and the presence or absence of complications. If infection and altitude sickness have not yet developed and there are no combined cardiopulmonary abnormalities, they can usually be controlled with medication, but some patients with more severe symptoms and other complications will need to continue to be seen. Therefore, the ultimate efficacy of medication depends on the severity of the disease, the presence of complications, the high altitude sun, and any changes in the hypothermic environment.
