Can children go to the plateau?

The altitude of the plateau is generally quite high, and the air on the plateau will be thinner and the air pressure on the human body will be greater at high altitudes. Therefore, people who live in plains or areas with lower altitudes will experience altitude sickness after going to the plateau. Many adults cannot withstand altitude sickness, which can cause breathing difficulties, shock, and even death in severe cases, let alone children? So can children go to the plateau?

1. Altitude sickness can cause great harm to children, because children are still in the development stage, and their hearts and lungs are not well developed. Therefore, once altitude sickness occurs, it will cause certain harm to children. Altitude sickness will make children often feel lack of oxygen.

2. Once children have altitude sickness, they will experience shortness of breath and headaches, and often feel tired, nausea, and loss of appetite. Therefore, the severity of altitude sickness in children is very serious. As a parent, you must take your children to treatment in time.

3. In our daily lives, we must avoid the occurrence of altitude sickness. Try not to take children to places with extremely high altitudes, because the air pressure here will be relatively low, which can easily cause hypoxia. Even well-developed adults will also suffer from symptoms of altitude sickness.

Note:

Altitude sickness is very dangerous for children, because if the altitude sickness is severe, it can cause emphysema and even put life in danger, so we must seek treatment in time and avoid going to places with high altitudes to play.
