Abdominal Cramps
Abdominal cramps [6] refer to discomfort or pain felt in the abdomen, below the ribs and above the waistline. It is mostly indicative of some form of enteritis or gastrointestinal infection. People infected with salmonella often experience abdominal cramps or pain.
The severity of this symptom varies from person to person, but it can be very painful. It can feel like the organs inside your abdomen are cramping. The cramps usually have intermittent peaks where the pain is acute and there are periods when the pain is dull or less severe.
While treating salmonella infection, your doctors may also prescribe pain relievers to help you manage the pain. You can also purchase these pain relievers yourself over the counter.
