I read a couple of older posts about altitude sickness but just wanted to get one more round of opinions before heading out in a couple of weeks. Last year I took my son back to Utah to hunt deer with family. I was born and raised there, so no problems, but my son was born in Kansas and got altitude sickness the first day of the hunt. We live at 1,000' elevation and were hunting above 9,000'. We made the drive in one day and it wiped him out. When I realized what it was we went back down to 5,000' so he could recover, but it still took several days.
Based on what I have read, getting something from the Dr. and hydration is probably the way to go, but also saw Rolaids, Athletes Advantage, Motion Eaze...
I am looking for any and all help, it was tough watching him struggle with it last time.
