Acute gastroenteritis in Avsallar: what to know locally
A stay in Avsallar usually means sea, pools and big meals; heat and busy buffets are the typical reasons visitors need a doctor. Close by are Gazipasa, Demre, Antalya, which share the same medical services. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread quickly 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.

Acute gastroenteritis explained
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. It is commonly called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases settle in a few days.
Common triggers
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.
How acute gastroenteritis is treated
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 appropriate medication where appropriate. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Treatment can involve oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
