Understanding acute gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, normally caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
How acute gastroenteritis feels
- Stomach cramps
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Watery diarrhoea
- Nausea and vomiting
Causes and risk factors
Contaminated food or water, undercooked meat, shellfish, unwashed salads, ice in drinks, or contact with someone who is already ill. Hot weather lets bacteria multiply quickly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
What to know about acute gastroenteritis in Dikili
Dikili is a beach and hotel area, so sun, pools and buffet food are the usual causes of holiday illness. Close by are Centrum, Cesme, Alacati, 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.
