Cold and flu explained
Colds and influenza are virus infections that affect the nose, throat and airways. A cold is generally milder and builds up slowly, while flu tends to start suddenly with high fever and strong body aches.
What can cause cold and flu
These viruses move through droplets in the air and on touched surfaces. Airports, aircraft cabins, hotel lobbies and buffet queues put many people close together, so holidaymakers catch them readily.
What to know about cold and flu in Turgutreis
Visitors to Turgutreis spend long hours in sun and water and eat out a lot, so sunburn, ear problems and stomach upsets are what doctors see most. Other places within reach include Kadikalesi, Guvercinlik, Yahsi. Cool air conditioning, sudden changes between pool and room and crowded buffets are common triggers. Set the room a little warmer and rest before flying home.
How cold and flu is treated
You will be assessed for signs of a viral infection and for anything more worrying, receive advice on relieving symptoms and on whether to fly or keep travelling. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and are only advised if there is a bacterial complication. Treatment can involve rest, fluids, paracetamol or ibuprofen, saline nasal spray and throat lozenges.
