Can children go to the plateau?

Many places in our country are located in plateau areas, such as the very famous Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. If you travel to Tibet, you must make a lot of preparations in advance, especially people with poor physical conditions must be more careful, because everyone knows that the oxygen content in plateau areas is very low, and people with poor health are prone to symptoms of shortness of breath, so you must prepare oxygen cylinders and other related equipment in advance. So can children go to the plateau?

Can children go to the plateau?

If there are no underlying diseases such as congenital heart disease, lung disease, etc., there should be no problem. However, the child is too young and has poor lung function, so going to high altitude areas is still dangerous. It is recommended to wait until the child is older.

If the place you are going to is at a high altitude, I personally don’t recommend taking children there.

Guidance:

Children may not be able to withstand severe altitude sickness, but for the rest of you, it's fine, so don't worry.

Currently the baby lives in the south. The temperature is suitable and the climate is humid. If your baby goes to the plateau, he or she may suffer from hypoxia and is not suitable for the trip.

Guidance:

According to the description, it is not recommended for babies who are just two years old to go to plateau areas, because plateau areas can easily cause hypoxia and breathing difficulties, which are not suitable for babies to live.

It is best to keep children over three years old, and do not let them do strenuous exercise. This will cause shortness of breath and high altitude sickness. Be careful not to catch a cold. If you catch a cold in the plateau, it can easily lead to serious illnesses such as pulmonary edema. In addition, the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are too strong and children's skin is delicate, so we must pay attention to protecting it.

For four-year-old children, considering that their body functions and tissues are not fully developed, it is recommended that they do not go to plateau areas, as they may be easily affected by altitude sickness or lack of oxygen, which may affect their growth and development.

I want to take my child to the plateau, but I am worried whether his body can withstand it. I am very troubled.

Guidance:

Plateaus are also high-altitude areas, and the most common problems are generally hypoxia and altitude sickness. I don’t know what my child’s physical condition is like. If his physical condition is average, I suggest he carry a small oxygen cylinder with him. It can effectively prevent altitude sickness. Intelligence has no effect. Don't worry. If he can adapt to the plateau, his body will be better and healthier than that of an ordinary child after returning to the plains.
