How To Treat Salmonella

Rehydration Beverages

Rehydration beverages, besides water, are commonly used for treating salmonella. Sports drinks with electrolytes are considered rehydration beverages. Additionally, many patients use drinks called oral rehydration solutions, which are defined as the combination of water mixed with salt and sugar. These drinks may also contain potassium, sucrose, and citrate.

Oral rehydration beverages are shown to be very useful in treating children with salmonella, though adults can benefit as well. Unless you prefer to make an oral rehydration beverage yourself, you can purchase the packets or pre-mixed bottles from the market. When making this drink, regulate the water, sugar, and salt you use.
