At a ski resort, appr 10, 000 ft.16 yr old son shortness of breath, coughing and aching. wife gave sudafed. just vomited. what else should we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma: At a high altitude, the air is thin and he can have asthmatic symptoms, hence the shortness of breath and cough, he needs an inhaler, see if there is a medical facility nearby to take him. Sudafed will not help.
