Salmonellosis Infection – Symptoms & Causes

Fever

Fever is another typical sign of salmonella infection. When the bacteria penetrate your body, they would trigger the immune system to work. Increasing the temperature is a natural defense to fight against these foreign components. Fortunately, it does not often go too high, just around 102 degrees. The symptom can subside within a few days with proper resting and medical advice. When the fever goes over 104 degrees, make sure to look for immediate medical attention as it would lead to more severe conditions, such as dehydration, diarrhea, and vomiting. [2]
