What we can help with
Food poisoning
Diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, fever and weakness can follow contaminated food or drink. A hotel doctor reviews your symptoms and advises on treatment, hydration and whether you need further assessment.
Diarrhea
The main concern is fluid and electrolyte loss. We check for signs of dehydration and advise on fluids, food, rest and suitable medication. IV fluids are also available for dehydration and tiredness.
Vomiting
We look for the likely cause and for complications such as dehydration. If you can't keep fluids down, we'll tell you what to do next.
Stomach pain
Not all stomach pain is from food. Location, severity and duration give clues, and unusual or persistent pain may need further evaluation.
Need something else checked too? See all medical services available at your hotel, from fever and flu to ECG and lab sample collection. Signs of dehydration include strong thirst, dry mouth, dizziness, unusual tiredness, headache, reduced urination and dark urine.
