First off, you shouldn't have done that! Learned your lesson, though, right?

If you do have Salmonella, you will soon know. Salmonella causes vomiting, weakness, and horrible diarrhea. If you do have it, and the bad diarrhea starts, DON'T TAKE IMMODIUM! You don't want to stop pooping...you don't want that organism inside you even longer.

The best treatment for Salmonella is nothing at all. By that I mean NO antibiotics. It is a self-limiting organism, and I promise you, it will go away on its own if you have a healthy immune system. I know people who have felt better in 2 days, and some that it took 2 weeks. The only time doctors should be giving antibiotics is for children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised like people with AIDS.

The important thing is to keep yourself hydrated. The best choice is Pedialyte...kinda like Gatorade, but better for you. And gentle, it is given to little kids.

In the meantime, while your body is getting rid of the Salmonella, (again IF you have it) it is really going to suck. I am not going to lie to you. You just gotta stay strong, try to rest, and keep down what you can...do keep trying to eat! I really hope you feel better soon, that you are one of those people who can get rid of it in a few days....

...............well yes and no, it depends on the type of food and if there is salmonella in it..

Salmonella is food poisoning so you will experience a lot of cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, and maybe a fever. If you are getting worse, go see a doctor, and he or she will provide you antibiotics

If you know you have a good immune system, then there is no worry, but people can die from salmonella. It sounds like you are young and healthy, so It is pretty unlikely.

A raw egg may or may not contain it, so it is VERY risky eating it. I would suggest that you don't do that again

Sure you have Salmonella?
