How To Treat Salmonella

Diarrhea Medication

Diarrhea medications can help regulate fluid movement in your intestines. Nevertheless, it is crucial to talk with a doctor about taking medications such as loperamide, as they could prolong the diarrheal effects of the salmonella infection. Plus, the medicine might have some side effects.

In addition, the doctor can tell salmonella victims to take bismuth subsalicylate for their diarrhea symptoms. Bismuth subsalicylate might reduce the growth of bacteria that contribute to diarrhea. Moreover, it is strongly advised not to give antidiarrheal medication to children. Bring this up with your doctor for more details.
