What should a 4-year-old girl do if she always has a stomachache and vomits in Lhasa?

Facing the plateau, many people first think of the mountain reaction caused by altitude rise. Alpine reaction means that unaccustomed people enter the plateau area above 3000 meters above sea level. Due to the decrease of oxygen partial pressure at atmospheric pressure, the body's tolerance to hypoxic environment is reduced, and it is difficult to adapt to it, leading to hypoxia, resulting in a series of altitude disorders. Of course, in addition to the factors of altitude hypoxia, there are also bad weather such as wind, rain, snow, cold and strong ultraviolet radiation, which will aggravate the altitude imbalance and cause different degrees of altitude imbalance.

Symptoms and self-judgment of mountain reaction

Some people who enter the plateau for the first time will have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, general fatigue, difficulty walking and difficulty falling asleep within 24 hours at an altitude of 3000 meters. In severe cases, there are symptoms such as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, purple complexion, swelling of lips or face. When these symptoms appear, you should stay at the original height and rest for 3-5 days, or immediately lower the height by hundreds of meters, which can generally return to normal.

Severe altitude sickness is very harmful to human body. Therefore, after entering the plateau, altitude sickness should be considered if the following symptoms appear:

1, severe headache, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, cyanosis of lips and nails.

2, consciousness trance, cognitive ability plummeted. Mainly in the calculation difficulty. Do a simple addition problem before entering the platform period and record the time spent. When symptoms appear, repeat the same calculation problem. If it takes longer than before, it means that altitude sickness has occurred.

3, hallucinations, feeling warm, often walking behind others without goals.

Preventive measures and drugs to relieve symptoms

From 2 days before entering the plateau to 3 days after entering the plateau, preventive oral administration of certain drugs can alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness: Ganmao Granules and Banlangen Granules.

Rhodiola is a drug that many people hope to prevent altitude sickness. It has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials and eliminating dampness, and can be used for treating lung heat, pulse heat, plague and limb swelling. In recent years, salidroside has been isolated from Rhodiola in China, which has been proved by experiments to have the effects of strengthening the heart, calming, raising blood pressure and resisting fatigue. Rhodiola extract can be used to resist fatigue, increase physical strength and endurance, and be weak after illness. Whether this drug can prevent and treat altitude sickness has not yet found scientific basis.

1. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination before traveling to Tibet. Only when you are sure that there is nothing wrong with your heart, lungs and other major organs can you leave. Patients with obvious heart, lung, brain, liver and kidney diseases and severe anemia or hypertension should not blindly enter the plateau.

2. When entering the plateau, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat more carbohydrates and eat less indigestible food. Pay special attention to the prohibition of drinking. Because the sound source will cause water loss when the climate is dry, it is recommended to drink more water.

Not everyone who climbs the plateau will have altitude sickness. The incidence and recovery speed of altitude sickness are related to the individual's compensatory adaptability, which varies greatly from individual to individual. People who have no altitude sickness this time may not be unresponsive when they climb the plateau next time. Some people have altitude sickness every time. These people are sensitive or highly prone to altitude sickness. What needs to be reminded here is that altitude sickness cannot be overcome by repeated exercise. According to long-term observation, some people who are weak in the plain have no altitude sickness when they arrive at the plateau, while some healthy people will have altitude sickness. The altitude is different for everyone. Having a good attitude to face altitude sickness after coming to the plateau is the best way to overcome altitude sickness.

The above are strategies, self-judgment, preventive measures and drugs to relieve symptoms of altitude sickness. The most important thing to enter the plateau is to have an optimistic attitude and not to scare yourself. Altitude sickness is actually not that terrible. We should face and protect ourselves correctly, so as to effectively reduce the occurrence of altitude sickness.
