What Is Allergy?
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. They can be as mild as sniffles and a rash, or, rarely, serious.
Causes and Risk Factors
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, animal fur, certain foods, medicines, insect stings or plants. New foods and new surroundings on holiday can bring out allergies you did not know you had.
How Allergy Feels
- Swollen lips, face or eyelids
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
Local Tips for Allergy in Marmaris
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Cocktails, new foods and late nights can mask early reactions. Tell the staff about any allergy and carry your medicine.
Travel Guide to Marmaris
Marmaris was ancient Physkos, and its castle overlooks the harbour. Trip for travellers: explore the old town, shop the Grand Bazaar for textiles, leather and spices, and join a boat trip along the bays. Water sports include jet-skiing, parasailing, diving and windsurfing.
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 Allergy Is Treated
The doctor asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at any rash or swelling on camera, recommends antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if appropriate. Typical choices are antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
