Exposure to pollen, dust mites, animal fur, particular foods, medicines, stings or plants. New foods and surroundings on holiday can reveal allergies you never knew about.
About Allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something that is normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. They can be as mild as sniffles and a rash, or, rarely, serious.
What to Know About Allergy in Gocek

- 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.

How Allergy Is Treated
The physician asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at any rash or swelling on camera, recommends antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if suitable. Typical choices are antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for severe allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
