Salmonella infections explained - Mirror Online
Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis follows testing for salmonella bacteria in the stool. Treatment consists mainly of rehydration therapy to replace lost fluids. No solid food should be eaten during the first 24 hours of being ill.
In severe cases and in babies, hospital admission for fluid replacement by intravenous infusion may be necessary.
Salmonella food poisoning is treated with antibiotics only if the infection has spread to the bloodstream.
