Symptom #7: Dry Mouth

Salmonella patients may also get a dry mouth feeling. This salmonella symptom is caused by dehydration. Because salmonella causes loss of body fluid by way of diarrhea and vomiting, a patient steadily gets dehydrated. If this continues for an extended length of time without replenishment, it can lead to mouth and tongue dryness as less saliva is produced.

Other signs of dehydration include headaches, muscle cramps, sunken eyes, dry lips and reduced amounts of urine. For this reason, patients with salmonella infection should keep taking water and other fluids, whether they are on treatment or not. Dehydration is especially dangerous in babies and other weak patients.
