Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain From Salmonella

I had a scrip for hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 tablets. I had these for stomach pains from Salmonella. I am getting pains there again, and these would greatly reduce the pains. I had these over a year ago. I am wondering if there is a way to renew this script without going to the doctor?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Abdominal pain due to salmonella infection is reduced after the intestinal inflammation is controlled.
You have same symptoms after one year, milder forms of condition( there is no vomiting & you can take 8-10 glasses of water with a pinch of salt & sugar,Fever is mild, no signs of dehydration like-excessive thirst, dizziness,dry mouth ) you can relay on same medicines( Go to your ER/family physician to renew it.)
But in case the symptoms do not get relief/ severe symptoms (as above) appear- you have to consult your doctor for systemic examination/investigations including culture stools- & get specific treatment .
Thanks.
