Salmonella: Salmonella is usually self limited with no antibiotic needed. Antibiotics can potentially prolong the carrier state for the infection. Adequate fluids to prevent dehydration, adequate rest and good nutrition are key. Personal hygiene such as hand washing is essential to protect household contacts. See your doctor for ongoing symptoms.
