E-rx.onlineFood Poisoning in Beylerbeyi: What to Know Locally
Visitors in Beylerbeyi often cram too much into one day, and tired legs, upset stomachs and infections follow the crowds. Other places within reach include Florya, Yesilkoy, Istinye. Street food and busy restaurants are a highlight of the city, but a warm salad or a kebab that has sat out can cause trouble. Fresh and hot is the safest choice.
What Can Cause Food Poisoning
Germs such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and pathogenic E. coli are behind most cases. ETEC drives much traveller’s diarrhoea, while EHEC (Shiga-toxin E. coli) can cause bloody diarrhoea and kidney problems in rare cases. Prompt-acting toxins from Staphylococcus and Bacillus cereus, norovirus and Giardia also play a part, usually via undercooked meat, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, salads, ice or food kept warm.
Understanding Food Poisoning
Contaminated food or drink that carries germs or their toxins causes food poisoning. Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps usually start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache and muscle aches
- Nausea and sudden vomiting
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
How Food Poisoning Is Treated
On video the doctor reviews your meals, symptoms and hydration, advises what to drink and eat, and can organise sample collection at the hotel. Antibiotics are used only when suitable, and usually not when EHEC is suspected. Medicine goes to the pharmacy as an e-prescription, and a hotel IV drip is possible if you are vomiting repeatedly. Options may include oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where appropriate, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Wash your hands well and do not prepare food for others while you are ill
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
