Treating altitude sickness stop and rest where you are. Do not go any higher for at least 24 to 48 hours. If you have a headache, take ibuprofen or paracetamol. If you feel sick, take an anti-sickness medicine, such as promethazine. Make sure you're drinking enough water. Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or exercise.
