Can I travel to Tibet if I have a cold?

Many people think that it should be no problem to go to Potala in the early morning. Their reason is that colds are not a big problem, and Tibetans will catch colds. Locals in Tibet can still live and move in Tibet when they have a cold. However, this is flawed. I don't agree with this view. Personally, if you catch a cold, you should change your itinerary and go to other places or postpone your trip to Tibet. Because most people will have a little altitude sickness when they go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which varies according to their physical fitness. But if people catch a cold, their body functions will be destroyed, their disease resistance will be weakened and their resistance load will increase. When they enter Tibet with a bad cold, it is easy to turn into other altitude sickness, especially pulmonary edema. This is a particularly dangerous altitude sickness, which is very life-threatening if it is not treated in time. For cold patients, it is recommended that you cure your cold before you leave, and don't bring it into Tibet. But if you catch a cold after Tibet, there is nothing you can do, but it's not a big problem. Don't worry too much. If you catch a cold in Tibet, it's usually nothing serious. Because you have certain adaptability and resistance at the plateau, your body has been basically adjusted and you can be treated in time. Moreover, doctors in Tibet are very experienced in treating colds. Take some cold medicine. Once you have cold symptoms, take some common cold medicine yourself. Symptoms will disappear after 1-2 days.
