Hi, delay further ascent until symptoms improve. Let him rest and stay warm. Give oxygen, if available. Keep the person warm and have him or her rest. Give plenty of liquids. If symptoms continue, do not travel any higher and consider descending to a lower altitude. You can give your cousin homoeopathic medicine - coca 6x/ after every 2 hourly.
