Headaches

A headache is another symptom of salmonella, and the fever accompanying the infection usually causes it. One of the difficulties in treating salmonellosis is many other gastrointestinal ailments have similar symptoms. Doctors will thus take a stool or blood sample to look for the bacteria.
