what is the treatment of AMS?

If anybody has AMS sick then they should have to go down, down and down. It is very important and safety way and it is very good madicin for AMS. There is not magic altitude which you should descend. Go down to the place where you were comfortable before. This is usually about 300 meters pr more. Stay where you are and do not ascend if you have moderate AMS. If one is badly struck, we could only need time for him/her to go down by the use of inject able or oral steroid (dexamethasone at the dose of 4 to 8 mg 6 hourly), oxygen, diamox, pressure bag (Gamow bag) and diuretics (drug which makes one pee)Nifedipine, a drug used commonly in hypertension could be used in a setting of HAPE at the dose of 10mg three to four times per day. Diamox should be avoided in people who are allergic to sulfa drugs. The most common side effect is tingling of the hands and feet and the eyes and the lips. Some might experience that the aerated drinks taste flat. People may wake up several times in the night because of the diuretic effect. Gastritis is the commonest side effect with dexamethasone and can be effectively tackled with the use of drugs like ranitidine. Remember, all these only buy time one still needs to go down, go down and go down.
