Flu Season Berlin Winter

When the Robert Koch-Institut reports increased influenza activity for Berlin, case numbers across the city rise sharply within days. We come with a rapid influenza test to your hotel, apartment or home, distinguish influenza A/B from a common cold, and decide on the spot about antiviral therapy, sick leave and follow-up.

Hay Fever Berlin Spring

Berlin is among Germany's most pollen-rich cities, birch, grasses, mugwort and alder dominate spring. Anyone struggling with massive sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked nose and the risk of allergic asthma can get a medical assessment, a proper prescription and a clear treatment plan without leaving home.

Heatstroke Summer Berlin

Berlin has seen recurring heatwaves with temperatures above 35 °C, inner-city values often higher. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are not the same: heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency. If heatstroke is suspected, call 112 immediately. For all other heat-related complaints we visit daily 6 am – midnight.

Sunstroke Berlin

Sunstroke is caused by direct sun exposure on an unprotected head, typical after long hours in Tiergarten, at Wannsee or at open-air concerts. Unlike heatstroke, core body temperature usually stays normal, but headache, nausea and neck stiffness can be severe. We come to your hotel or home, assess severity and treat appropriately.

Travel Vaccination Before Summer Holiday Berlin

Anyone travelling in the summer months to southern or eastern Europe, Turkey, Morocco or the Black Sea should check their vaccination status some weeks before departure. We come with common travel vaccines to your office, home or hotel, advise per STIKO and CRM, and vaccinate on site.

Travel Vaccination Before Tropical Holiday Berlin

Tropical and sub-tropical travel (Africa, Southeast Asia, India, South and Central America) needs far more lead time than a Mediterranean holiday. We advise and vaccinate as a house call following the German Society of Tropical Medicine (DTG) and CRM. Yellow fever requires a certified centre. We refer reliably.

Summer Gastroenteritis Berlin

Summer brings rising bacterial GI cases in Berlin: salmonella from undercooled poultry, campylobacter from raw chicken, EHEC from raw milk or vegetables. Plus traveller's diarrhoea after Mediterranean or tropical returns. We treat at home or hotel, with diagnostics, targeted therapy and fluid replacement.

Autumn Cold Wave Berlin

As soon as Berlin's heating systems start and children return to daycare and school, the classic cold wave begins. Rhino-, adeno-, parainfluenza-, RSV and corona viruses circulate at once. Anyone with sore throat, cough and fever who cannot or will not go to a practice gets a medical assessment at home, including differentiation from influenza and bacterial causes.

Norovirus Winter Berlin

Norovirus is Berlin's infamous winter GI bug. Highly contagious, with stormy vomiting and watery diarrhoea, often in clusters, families, daycares, care homes, hotels. We come to the house, avoid unnecessary practice or hospital contacts and treat patients at home when medically reasonable.

Sick at Christmas Berlin

Anyone falling ill in Berlin on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day faces closed practices, an overcrowded Charité emergency department, and an out-of-hours service with hours of wait. We work in Berlin on all Christmas holidays daily from 6 am to midnight, including 24, 25 and 26 December.

Flu Shot Berlin House Call

The flu shot is the single most important measure against severe influenza, especially for patients over 60, the chronically ill, pregnant women and medical staff. We vaccinate at a house call, at home, in the office, at a hotel or as a team vaccination day at your company. The optimal window in Berlin is between early October and late November, before the wave starts.

When to Go to the ER in Summer

Berlin in summer, heatwaves, open-air events, lake swimming, sports injuries, wasp stings, GI infections after the buffet. ER departments at Charité, Vivantes and DRK are often overcrowded with waiting times of four to eight hours. Anyone deciding between ER, ambulance or house call gets clear orientation here from a Berlin family doctor.
