FEVER ON HOLIDAY
The cause matters more than one number.
A thermometer reading of 38°C or above is generally considered a high temperature. Fever is a symptom rather than a diagnosis and may occur with respiratory, throat, ear, stomach, urinary and other infections.
How the patient looks and behaves, their breathing, hydration and accompanying symptoms all help determine what assessment may be appropriate.
Symptoms that may occur with fever
Travellers often search using a group of symptoms rather than a diagnosis. Mention every new symptom, even when it seems unrelated to the temperature.
Ear pain
Pain, pressure or discharge, particularly in children or after swimming
Vomiting or diarrhoea
Fluid loss, stomach pain or difficulty keeping drinks down
Rash or body aches
New skin changes, headache, chills or muscle pain
Child fever on holiday
Parents frequently search for a hotel doctor when a baby or child develops a temperature abroad. For children, the overall condition is important: whether they are responsive, drinking, breathing comfortably and passing urine normally.
Include the child’s exact age
Age affects how fever is assessed, particularly in young babies. Also report unusual sleepiness, difficulty waking, breathing difficulty, seizure, a rash that concerns you, reduced drinking or reduced urination. These features require prompt medical attention.
Fever in adults
Adults with a fever may feel hot or cold, shivery, sweaty, weak or achy. Additional symptoms such as cough, sore throat, painful urination, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, rash or ear pain can help guide the assessment.
Fever or heat exhaustion?
In Dalaman’s summer weather, a raised temperature may follow significant heat or sun exposure. Heat-related illness may also involve dizziness, weakness, nausea, heavy sweating, thirst or confusion. Share recent outdoor activity so infection and heat-related causes can be considered separately.
For more detail about illness after sun exposure, read our sunstroke and heat exhaustion guide.
What a hotel assessment may include
The medical professional may ask about the fever’s duration, measured readings, medicines, allergies, medical conditions, recent travel and associated symptoms. Depending on the situation, examination and basic observations may be appropriate.

Antibiotics and prescription treatment
A fever does not automatically mean a bacterial infection or a need for antibiotics. Medication should be based on the likely cause, clinical findings, allergies and medical history. Avoid using leftover antibiotics or another person’s prescription.
FEVER FAQ
Questions from travellers and parents.
Information about arranging medical assessment for a high temperature in Dalaman.
Can a doctor visit my hotel for a fever in Dalaman?+
Send your hotel or accommodation location, the patient’s age, measured temperature and accompanying symptoms. When a visit is appropriate and available, the team will confirm timing, service details and fee.
My child has a fever on holiday. What information should I send?+
Share the child’s age, highest measured temperature, when it started, drinking and urine output, alertness, breathing, rash, pain, vomiting or diarrhoea, medicines already given and important medical history.
What temperature counts as a fever?+
A temperature of 38°C or above is generally considered a high temperature. A person may still feel feverish, hot, cold or shivery even when a reading is below 38°C.
Does a fever mean antibiotics are needed?+
No. Fever can have many causes, including viral and bacterial infections and non-infectious conditions. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and should only be considered after an appropriate medical assessment.
Can fever be caused by heat exposure?+
Heat-related illness can involve a raised temperature, but it is different from a fever caused by infection. Explain recent sun exposure, sweating, thirst, dizziness or confusion so the team can consider the wider picture.
Can you provide documents for travel insurance?+
Ask the team about appropriate medical reports, itemised invoices and treatment documentation. Reimbursement depends on your individual insurance policy.
