Content updated on Jun 1, 2022
Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Salmonella infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs or egg products.
Fever
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Feeling the need to pass motion even though nothing comes out
Pain when pressing down on the abdomen
Nausea or vomiting
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose salmonella
Do you have a fever?
Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?
Do you have loose stools or diarrhea?
Do you often have the urge to pass motion but are unable to do so?
Do you feel severe pain when pressing on your abdomen (stomach)?
Because salmonella infection can cause dehydrating, treatment focuses on replacing fluids and electrolytes orally or delivered directly into a vein (intravenous). In addition, antibiotics, antidiarrheals and medication to reduce fever are prescribed.
