Are Headache,cold And Shivering Suggestive Of Having Altitude Sickness?
Hi, my husband is at high altitude (3600m). We have been here for 3 days. This morning he had a headache which we assumed was a symptom of altitude sickness. Now he is shivering and cold even though his temperature is normal and it is warm in the room. Is the shivering caused by the altitude or something else?
It is not because of high altitude.these symptoms are due to cold weather at high ups. Avoid exposure. .keep him warm. Treatment is tab wikoryl 1tds, tab moxi625 1bd, tab levoflox 500 od,tab metronidazole 200 bd, sporlac sachets bd, steam inhalation
