- vomitousness
The most prevalent symptom of salmonella poisoning is vomiting. When salmonella bacteria infect the body, it causes severe disruption. The bacteria induce irritation of the stomach, nausea, and vomiting.
When an individual consumes contaminated food or liquid, the body will attempt to eliminate the bacteria. Unfortunately, this may result in persistent regurgitation until the bacteria has passed or the body has successfully fought off the infection. Salmonella poisoning is more likely to cause regurgitation in infants, the elderly, and those suffering from certain disorders.
Vomiting excessively can result in dehydration, malaise, and lethargy. In severe cases, a medical professional may prescribe medication to suppress the vomiting reflex, but in the majority of instances, they will urge patients to expel the bacteria. Depending on the severity of the regurgitation, hospitalization may be necessary to maintain adequate hydration.
