Despite taking all precautionary measures if you still get ill, try to check with a local doctor immediately. Do not delay the matter as a serious illness can cost you more. If you have got health insurance, you can be paid by the insurer, if not you will have to afford the bill yourself. In any case do not avoid visiting a doctor. Since you are most likely to be alone in the country, away from your home and family, the effect of the problem can be multiplied quickly and you might find very hard to fight off the problem. If you think you cannot cope with the problem alone, better head back to your home country.
