Conditions we treat

Grouped by how people tend to arrive rather than alphabetically.

Sun, heat and the first few days

• Heat exhaustion treatment in Pattaya — Dizziness, cramps and collapse after too long in Pattaya heat and humidity.

Stomach and fever

• Traveller’s diarrhoea treatment in Pattaya — The commonest illness of a Thailand trip, and the fluid loss that goes with it.
• Dengue fever treatment in Pattaya — Tested on site. The painkiller rule matters more here than anywhere else.
• Fever treatment in Pattaya — High temperature assessed properly rather than guessed at, at any hour.

Scooters and the road

• Motorbike accident injuries treatment in Pattaya — The single commonest serious injury here. Assessed, cleaned, x-ray referral if needed.
• Road rash treatment in Pattaya — Gravel-embedded grazes cleaned thoroughly so they do not scar or become infected.
• Exhaust pipe burn treatment in Pattaya — The calf burn almost every scooter rider gets. Deeper than it looks.

After a night out

• Alcohol poisoning treatment in Pattaya — When a night out stops being a hangover and becomes a medical problem.
• Severe hangover treatment in Pattaya — Rehydration, anti-sickness medication and a check that it is only a hangover.

Training, sport and skin

• Cuts and lacerations treatment in Pattaya — Glass, coral and scooter cuts closed properly rather than taped over.
• Infected tattoo or piercing treatment in Pattaya — Redness, heat and discharge after fresh ink, treated before it spreads.

The sea, and the boat to Koh Larn

• Jellyfish sting treatment in Pattaya — Stings from Jomtien and Koh Larn water, treated correctly rather than with folklore.
• Coral cut treatment in Pattaya — Small, slow-healing and prone to infection. Cleaned out properly the first time.
• Sea urchin spines treatment in Pattaya — Spines removed from feet and hands, with the ones that must not be dug out left alone.
• Ear barotrauma treatment in Pattaya — Ear pain after diving Koh Larn or the wrecks, or after a flight.
• Seasickness treatment in Pattaya — The Koh Larn crossing and dive boats, and what to do before you board.

A few things worth knowing before you need them

• A burn wants twenty minutes of cool running water before anything else — burn treatment.
• An exhaust burn is nearly always deeper than it looks and should not be left to a plaster — exhaust pipe burns.
• A dog or monkey bite starts a clock. Rabies shots work, but only if started — rabies vaccination.
• With a fever in this region, take paracetamol only until dengue is excluded — dengue fever.
• An ear that hurt on descent ends the diving until it has been looked at — ear barotrauma.
• Any open wound stays out of the sea and out of the pool while it is healing.
• If you need a certificate for a flight, come the day before rather than the morning of — fit-to-fly certificates.
