What to Know About Acute Gastroenteritis in Gundogan
In Gundogan most days revolve around the beach, the pool and the hotel restaurant, which is where holiday illnesses tend to start. Close by are Gumusluk, Ortakent, Bitez, which share the same medical services. 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.
Travel Guide to Gundogan
Trip for travellers: Gundogan is built for beach days. Plan swimming, pool time and local restaurants, and book boat trips or day excursions through your hotel or a local agency. Shops tend to sell beachwear, souvenirs and leather goods.
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.
Causes and Risk Factors
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 often end with a tummy bug.
What Is Acute Gastroenteritis?
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. It is commonly called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases resolve in a few days.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Nausea and vomiting
- Watery diarrhoea
- Stomach cramps
Care and Treatment for Acute Gastroenteritis
A video visit lets the physician judge how dehydrated you are, ask about food and travel history, advise what to drink and eat, and prescribe suitable medication where 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.
- Rest, and avoid alcohol and very fatty or spicy food while recovering
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
