1. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Loss of fluids through vomiting and diarrhea creates the risk of dehydration. It is important to replace lost fluid and electrolytes by drinking water, herbal tea, juice, and broth. Even if it doesn't feel good to drink, this is the best way to keep up your body's energy and get past the worst of the symptoms.Try eating a popsicle, ice chips or some sorbet as a way to get both water and sugar into your system. Drink plenty of water especially after severe bouts of vomiting or diarrhea. Children can drink a rehydration solution like Pedialyte or a flat soda to restore fluids and electrolytes.
2. Avoid eating food while recovering from a salmonella infection. Eating any foods can further aggravate your already-sensitive digestive system. Avoid eating until the illness has passed or until you’ve been treated.
3. Use a heating pad or warm compress. Lay it over your abdomen to help relieve any cramps you may be experiencing. A hot water bottle, or a hot bath, will also do the trick.
