Accepted Answer

Medication: I would follow up with an MD/DO to see why your symptoms are continuing despite medical treatment. There could be another causative agent or the present organism is resistant to your current therapies. But these are hypotheticals and not a substitute for proper advice and treatment from a visit with your physician. Please follow up with a physician to determine correct dosage and have a great day.

No long term effects: Once in a while, people become carriers of Salmonella for a few weeks or months after they get over the initial infection. However, this is rare and harmless. It creates risk for other persons potentially exposed to your feces, but that's prevented by everyday, standard hygiene, like hand washing after toilet. So don't worry about this at all.
