About Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually caused by a virus, bacteria 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
- Stomach cramps
- Low-grade fever
- Watery diarrhoea
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Nausea and vomiting
Why Acute Gastroenteritis Happens
Most infections come from something eaten or drunk: contaminated water, undercooked meat or seafood, unwashed salad or ice. You can also catch it from a sick travel companion. Heat speeds up bacterial growth, which explains why summer trips so frequently end with a tummy bug.
What to Know About Acute Gastroenteritis in Manavgat
Manavgat is known for its waterfall and river boat trips, so boat days, sun and sea water mix together. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread quickly 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.
Travel Guide to Manavgat
Manavgat lies on the river of the same name, close to ancient Side. Trip for travellers: take a river boat trip, see the Manavgat Waterfall and shop at the weekly market for textiles, leather goods and spices. Water activities include boat rides and sea swimming at the nearby Side beaches.
