Currently, no biomedical tests are available to diagnose AMS; therefore, the disease is diagnosed based on clinical features. The scoring scales serve to identify and assess the presence and intensity of clinical features in an AMS individual.[8] Individuals with a mild presentation of AMS receive treatment with supportive care, including rest, hydration, and analgesic medications. Treatment for more severe cases of AMS includes oxygen and drugs such as acetazolamide or dexamethasone, and descent in altitude.[8][9][10]
