What Is Salmonella?
3. Symptoms
Symptoms of salmonellosis will sometimes appear just a few hours after the infection took place. In some people, it might be 2 days before infection symptoms begin to show. Either way, the symptoms will only be mild in the majority of cases. The symptoms will also usually last from between 2 to 7 days.
Symptoms of the infection typically include nausea and vomiting. A headache is also normal, as are a fever and chills. A pain in the abdomen is also common and the patient is also likely to have diarrhea. In the more severe cases, the patient might also find that there is blood in their stools.
