1) Start taking medications to prevent altitude sickness, such as Omolan tablets, American ginseng, glucose solution, etc. one week in advance. In case of severe altitude sickness, take appropriate amounts of oxygen.

2) When you first enter the plateau, you should move slowly rather than quickly. Do not walk quickly, let alone run, or do physical labor. It is best to spend half a day completely resting.

3) The temperature difference in the plateau is very large, so it is easy to catch a cold. You should take measures to keep warm to prevent colds and respiratory infections caused by catching a cold. Colds are one of the main causes of acute high altitude pulmonary edema.
