Understanding Acute Gastroenteritis
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
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 common on summer holidays.
Acute Gastroenteritis in Olympos-Cirali: What to Know Locally
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. On tours, boat trips and hikes you can be hours from a toilet or pharmacy. Pack rehydration sachets and keep sipping fluids.
Travel Guide to Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.
For Visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- No language barrier: Dr. Yasbala consults in English, so you can describe symptoms naturally.
- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
- Any time zone: the on-demand doctor is available 24/7, whatever the time is back home.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Is Treated
During the video visit the doctor works out how much fluid you have lost, asks what you ate and where you have travelled, explains what to drink and eat, and prescribes medicine if it is appropriate. Your e-prescription can be picked up at a pharmacy close to you. Typical choices are oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and frequently
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
- Rest, and avoid alcohol and very fatty or spicy food while recovering
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
