Symptoms of acute gastroenteritis
- Nausea and vomiting
- Low-grade fever
- Stomach cramps
- Watery diarrhoea
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
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 frequently end with a tummy bug.
What is acute gastroenteritis?
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.
Acute gastroenteritis in Evrenseki: what to know locally
Evrenseki is a resort village, so all-inclusive buffets, pools and heat are the main holiday risks. 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.
