Colds with altitude sickness can be life-threatening, so you need to seek medical attention, get off the plateau, and get oxygen as soon as possible. If a cold occurs in a plateau area, it is likely to exacerbate the plateau reaction under its own oxygen-thinning conditions, and thus the risk of pulmonary edema is higher. Once pulmonary edema occurs, especially under conditions where timely resuscitation is not possible in the plateau area, it may be life-threatening. Therefore, if a cold occurs in the plateau area, first of all need to get out of the plateau area, as soon as possible to restore the normal oxygen concentration conditions, and at the same time immediately seek medical attention, as soon as possible oxygen, under the guidance of the doctor to rescue, to avoid the further development of pulmonary edema, which is the most important measures to avoid the emergence of life-threatening measures, especially the existence of the underlying cardiopulmonary diseases, to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. In the plateau area need to do a good job of self-protection, appropriate increase or decrease of clothing, to avoid the occurrence of cold.
