What is the best treatment for altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness occurs when you climb to higher altitudes faster than your body can acclimatize. It causes breathing difficulty due to the lack of oxygen. If you are suffering from severe altitude sickness, then the single best way to treat it is to immediately descend to a lower elevation, if you are able to do so.

However, if immediate descent is not possible, then your guide may use a hyperbaric chamber to help your body to acclimatize to the high altitude. Alternatively, an emergency oxygen system may be used to treat the condition.
