Local Tips for Food Poisoning in Ilica
A stay in Ilica usually means sea, pools and big meals; heat and busy buffets are the typical reasons visitors need a doctor. Close by are Lara, Konyaalti, Manavgat, which share the same medical services. Buffets in the heat are a classic cause on beach holidays. Choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, avoid anything that has sat out, and tell us early if several people in your group are ill.

Food Poisoning Explained
Contaminated food or drink that carries germs or their toxins causes food poisoning. It usually causes sudden vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps within hours or a couple of days of the meal, and most healthy adults recover at home with fluids and rest.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache and muscle aches
- Nausea and sudden vomiting
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
Common Triggers
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. Quick-acting toxins from Staphylococcus and Bacillus cereus, norovirus and Giardia also play a part, normally via undercooked meat, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, salads, ice or food kept warm.
Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
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 typically 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. Treatment can involve oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where appropriate, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Do not take anti-diarrhoea tablets if you have a fever or blood in your stool unless a doctor advises it
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and frequently, even if you are vomiting
