Understanding Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a brief bout of irritation and swelling in the stomach and bowel, most often triggered by a virus, bacterium or parasite. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
Typical Symptoms
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Low-grade fever
- Stomach cramps
What Can Cause Acute Gastroenteritis
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 quickly, which is why it is common on summer holidays.
What to Know About Acute Gastroenteritis in Centrum
Sunbeds, hotel pools and buffet counters define a stay in Centrum, and they are also where holiday illnesses usually begin. Nearby you will also find Cesme, Alacati, Foca. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread rapidly through resort hotels. Tell your hotel if you are ill, and stay out of the pool until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.
