My child got sick with a fever in Antalya — how do I use travel insurance and find children's medicine?

Local insurance agencies in Antalya (e.g. Ankara Sigorta, Allianz) can issue a child's medical policy without a residence permit — just the child's passport is needed, a 1-2 week policy costs around 500-1000 TRY and takes about an hour to process.

Children's ibuprofen syrup or paracetamol (Calpol, Parol) is sold without a prescription at any pharmacy (eczane), costing roughly 80-150 TRY per bottle; pharmacies rotate night duty and the nearest 24h one is always posted on the door.

If you need to use insurance for a child's fever, first call the assistance service number listed on the policy — the operator directs you to a partner clinic (e.g. Medicana or Memorial) and payment goes straight through insurance, no out-of-pocket cash needed.
