HEALTH TIPS
TRAVELER’S
DIARRHEA
What is Traveler’s Diarrhea ?
Traveler’s diarrhea is a common condition that affects many people when traveling to developing countries or areas with poor sanitation.

It is usually caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with bacteria,viruses, or parasites.
What causes travelers’ diarrhea?
The most common cause of traveler’s diarrhea is ingestion of contaminated food or water. This can happen when consuming raw or undercooked meat, seafood, fruits, or vegetables, or when drinking untreated water or beverages with ice made from contaminated water. Poor hygiene practices, such as inadequate handwashing, can also contribute to the spread of the infection.

The most common causative agent is enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Other pathogens can cause travelers’ diarrhea such as campylobacter, salmonella, shigella, vibrio spp., and many kinds of intestinal parasites.
What are the common symptoms of traveler’s diarrhea?
The onset of travelers’ diarrhea usually occurs within the first week of travel, but it may occur at any time while traveling. It also can occur shortly after you get home.

Symptoms of traveler’s diarrhea can vary but typically include:

Frequent, loose, or watery stools Abdominal cramps Nausea and vomiting Fever Blood in the stool (less common)

Symptoms usually begin suddenly and can range from mild to severe, lasting anywhere from a few days to a week or more.
Stung by
a Marine Animal
Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Being stung by a marine animal can be a painful experience, and it’s important to know how to respond quickly and effectively. Whether you’ve been stung by a jellyfish, a stingray, or another marine creature, understanding the symptoms and appropriate treatment can help alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.
Common Marine Animals That Cause Stings
Jellyfish: Jellyfish stings can vary in severity, depending on the type of jellyfish and the person’s sensitivity to the venom. Symptoms may include pain, redness, itching, and swelling at the site of the sting.

Stingrays: Stingrays have a sharp, barbed stinger on their tails that can cause puncture wounds. Stingray stings can be extremely painful and may lead to swelling, bleeding, and infection.

Sea Urchins: Sea urchin spines can puncture the skin, leading to pain, swelling, and possibly infection. In some cases, fragments of the spine may remain embedded in the skin.

Fire Coral: Fire coral is a type of marine organism that can cause a burning sensation and rash upon contact with the skin.
Symptoms of a Marine Animal Sting
  • Pain or burning sensation at the site of the sting
  • Redness, swelling, and itching
  • Rash or welts
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Muscle cramps or spasms
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing (in severe cases)
Allergies
Comprehensive Allergy Investigation
and Treatment at Medical Health
Clinic Phuket ( MHCP )
At MHCP , we specialize in comprehensive allergy investigation and treatment to help you live a healthier, symptom-free life. Allergies can significantly impact your quality of life, causing discomfort and sometimes leading to serious health complications. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals uses advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized treatment plans to identify and manage your allergies effectively.
Understanding Allergies
Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance, such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods, that is typically harmless to most people. These substances are known as allergens. When exposed to an allergen, your immune system releases chemicals like histamines, leading to symptoms that can range from mild to severe. The most common causative agent is enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Other pathogens can cause travelers’ diarrhea such as campylobacter, salmonella, shigella, vibrio spp., and many kinds of intestinal parasites.
Common allergy symptoms include:
  • Sneezing
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Itchy or watery eyes\
  • Skin rashes or hives
  • Shortness of breath
  • Swelling of the lips,
  • tongue, or throat

In some cases, allergies can trigger asthma or lead to a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.

Dengue Vaccine
Dengue fever has 4 serotypes
The dengue virus has 4 serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. Typically, dengue fever presents with mild symptoms or may even be asymptomatic. However, in some cases it can lead to severe symptoms, progressing to shock and even death. It is a disease that is difficult to predict whether an individual will experience mild or severe symptoms.
Dengue vaccine for
foreigners/travelers in Thailand:
Should I get it?
  • A new type of dengue fever vaccine can be administered to both children and adults aged between 4 and 60 years.
  • The vaccine prevents dengue fever from all serotypes at a rate of 80.2% and in preventing hospitalization at a rate of 90.4%.
  • Simple and convenient to administer, requiring only 2 doses spaced 3 months apart. It can be given whether or not an individual has previously had dengue fever, eliminating the need for prior immunity screening.
  • It is recommended that individuals who have recovered from dengue fever wait for a minimum of 6 months before receiving the dengue fever vaccine.
  • The vaccine is safe, and the observed side effects are generally mild, such as localized pain at the injection site, headaches, and muscle pain. These side effects mostly resolve on their own within 1-3 days.
Reinfection can lead to more severe symptoms
If a second infection with the dengue virus occurs from a serotype different from the first infection, it may increase the risk of experiencing more severe symptoms. This is because a second infection triggers an immune response to the previously encountered serotype, which is not effective at preventing the disease. This allows the dengue virus to spread more easily, leading to increased severity of symptoms, meaning a second infection is more likely to result in more severe symptoms than the initial infection.
