Prevent Getting Sick in Bali
Stay Hydrated Around the Clock
Bali’s humidity and sunshine can dehydrate you faster than you think. Always carry a refillable water bottle and sip frequently. Coconut water or oral rehydration sachets replace electrolytes lost through sweat.
Choose Safe Food and Drinks
Street stalls offer delicious local treats, but flip for busy vendors with high turnover, cook food thoroughly, and skip ice from unknown sources. Peel fruit yourself and opt for bottled or boiled water.
Protect Against Mosquito‑Borne Illnesses
Apply DEET or picaridin repellent each morning and evening. Wear lightweight long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk. If accommodations lack proper screens, use a bed net or request an IV drip the next day to boost immunity.
Keep Hands Clean
Carry travel‑size hand sanitizer for moments when soap and water aren’t handy: before eating, after restroom stops, and after handling money.
Pace Outdoor Activities
Sunburn, heat exhaustion, and fatigue lower your body’s defences. Schedule beach time in the early morning or late afternoon, and rest in shady spots between adventures.
First Sign of Bali Belly What Now?
Pause Solid Foods Immediately
When cramps and loose stools begin, switch to clear fluids—bottled water, herbal teas, or ORS—to rest your gut.
Sip Ginger or Peppermint Tea
These natural remedies calm nausea and reduce bloating. Steep a slice of fresh ginger or a tea bag in hot water for five minutes, then sip slowly.
Consider an Oral Rehydration Mix
Dissolve a rehydration sachet in half a liter of water. Drink sips every 15 minutes to replace lost salts and sugar.
Book a Rapid Lab Test
Within a few hours, Trishnanda’s nurse can arrive to collect a stool or blood sample for Bali Belly, dengue, malaria, or typhoid testing. Quick confirmation means targeted treatment rather than guesswork.
What To Do When a Mosquito Bite Feels More Than Petty Itch
Mark the Bite and Monitor
Circle any raised bump and note the time. If redness, swelling, or pain spreads beyond a thumb’s width in 24 hours, infection or allergic reaction may be starting.
Treat with Calming Gel
Trishnanda nurses carry anti‑itch and antiseptic sprays that instantly soothe and prevent bacterial infection from scratching.
Watch for Fever or Severe Symptoms
If you develop high fever, intense headache, joint pain, or rash, message for a dengue rapid test and IV hydration drip—early supportive therapy radically improves outcomes.
What To Do If You Catch a Fever or Flu‑Like Illness
Rest and Hydrate First
A bedrest day with plenty of fluids helps determine if it’s an ordinary viral bug or something needing medical attention.
Take Safe Fever Reducers
Use paracetamol (acetaminophen) as directed—500 mg to 1 g every six hours, and no more than 4 g in 24 hours. Skip ibuprofen or aspirin without medical advice, as they can worsen bleeding if dengue is involved.
Book a Doctor‑Led Home Visit
Trishnanda Care Centre’s English‑speaking doctor arrives within 60–90 minutes to assess your symptoms, run point‑of‑care tests (flu, COVID, dengue), and recommend treatment—no clinic lines or hidden fees.
Secure Rapid Lab Testing
Choose the Right Test for Your Timeline
– Days 1–5 of fever: NS1 dengue antigen
– After day 5: IgM/IgG antibody panel
– Persistent stomach symptoms: Bali Belly stool panel
– Respiratory symptoms: flu and COVID rapid swabs
Provide Clear Location Details
Send your full address plus landmarks via WhatsApp. Our team uses real‑time navigation to arrive as quickly as possible.
Ask for a Full Blood Count When Needed
A complete blood count (CBC) reveals dehydration, infection, and platelet trends—key data for dengue or typhoid management.
Book and Prepare for IV Therapy

– Mild dehydration: Basic Hydration Drip (IDR 900K)
– Bali Belly or fever: Digestive Support Drip (IDR 1.200K)
– Dengue or severe dehydration: Dengue Hydration Premium (IDR 2.100K)

All packages deliver 1,000–1,500 ml of balanced fluid, vitamins, and electrolytes right where you rest. Ask about the 10 % monthly IV discount.
Clear a Comfortable Space
Pick a chair near an outlet. Ensure your phone is charged to receive follow‑up messages.
Have ID and Payment Ready
Your nurse will confirm identity, review the quote, and collect payment before starting—no surprises.
