Cold attack

2022-11-07 16:00:15
Planning to go to hill station in late December where temperature might fall till 2 degree. My husband is 62 years old, he consumes 2.5 power medicine for high BP and he has a little bit high suger than normal. No other complications. Quite fit a person. He is a bit afraid if any severity comes from cold like shivering etc Is there any preventive medicine? Will it be safe for him to travel?
