Local tips for acute gastroenteritis in Marmaris
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Late nights, alcohol and street snacks make dehydration worse. Rehydrate with sachets, skip alcohol while recovering and eat plain food first.
What can cause acute gastroenteritis
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 rapidly, which is why it is common on summer holidays.

- Low-grade fever
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
