What Is Salmonella?
7. Dehydration
Salmonellosis will develop some potentially life-threatening complications in some cases. One of those is caused by the fact that severe cases of the infection will result in considerable vomiting and diarrhea. Every time the patient vomits or passes watery stools, they are passing a lot of water out of their system.
In some cases, the patient will be losing fluids faster than they can replace them, and this can result in dehydration. The symptoms of dehydration include sunken eyes, reduced tear production, a dry mouth and tongue, and urinating less frequently. Dehydration is potentially lethal so it should be taken very seriously indeed.
