Nausea or vomiting
Questions your doctor may ask to check for salmonella
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)?
Treatment for salmonella
