On the plateau, why are colds a fatal illness?

Why don't you travel to Tibet when you have a cold

If you have a cold and you think you're going to Tibet, it's really brave. People have a cold, and their resistance is weaker than usual. At this time, with the gradual increase of altitude, your body functions need to be constantly changed to adapt to the hypoxic climate on the plateau, and your breathing will become rapid and your lungs will become bigger. You are completely unaware of it. At this time, the most common pulmonary edema on the plateau is most likely to occur. At this time, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately. If you don't treat it in time, your life may be in danger.

So if you catch a cold, it is suggested that you should wait until you are fully recovered before entering Tibet another day. If you have already booked the time to go to Tibet, you should keep warm before you leave, wear a warm coat and change clothes at any time according to climate change to prevent the cold from getting worse. If you catch a cold, you should treat it immediately and try to cure it completely before you leave.

Those who plan to enter Tibet should pay attention to their health half a month to one month in advance, and suggest doing more exercise, running and improving their immunity. You can also take some immune drugs such as effervescent tablets to ensure that you don't catch a cold before you leave. It's all right! What should I do if I catch a cold during my trip to Tibet?

at this time, a friend will ask, what should I do if I caught a cold during my trip to Tibet, but I didn't catch a cold before I entered Tibet? However, you don't have to worry too much. Catching a cold on the way to Tibet is generally not a big problem, because after a period of plateau process, the body gradually adapts and adjusts under normal conditions, and it has already had certain adaptability and resistance. Of course, you should take cold medicine. If you catch a cold, as long as you treat it in time, there will be no big problem. Moreover, doctors in Tibet are very experienced in treating colds, so you don't have to worry too much if you catch a cold in Tibet. We must also take some cold medicines with us. Once there are signs of a cold, we should take some common cold medicines ourselves, and the symptoms will generally disappear in 1-2 days.

back to no man's land. A photographer followed the team into the no-man's land, photographed the third-class motorcade with more than 3 people in the world, and did a lot of preparatory work in the early stage. At last, less than half of the people reached the Pruogangri Glacier. Many teammates suffered from altitude sickness, and some even got pulmonary edema.
