E-rx.onlineFatih: Local Notes for Acute Gastroenteritis
Fatih is a busy visitor area, so long days on foot, crowds and street food are the usual causes of illness. Other places within reach include Bosphorus, Golden Horn, Galata. Street food, long walking days and few bathrooms in busy areas make mild bouts harder. Carry rehydration sachets and drink sealed or bottled water.
What Is Acute Gastroenteritis?
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, normally caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. A virus, bacteria or parasite is usually responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery in a few days is typical.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Stomach cramps
- Watery diarrhoea
- Nausea and vomiting
Common Triggers
Contaminated food or water, undercooked meat, shellfish, unwashed salads, ice in drinks, or contact with someone who is already ill. Hot weather lets bacteria multiply rapidly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
Care and Treatment for Acute Gastroenteritis
A video visit lets the physician judge how dehydrated you are, ask about food and travel history, advise what to drink and eat, and prescribe appropriate medication where suitable. You then collect the e-prescription medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Options may include oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
