What Causes Abdomen Pain After Being Diagnosed With Salmonella Typhi?

I was diagnosed with salmonella typhi 4 months ago after returning from a trip to Malaysia. I have since been cleared, but am experiencing occasional abdominal pain similar to gastro. Fever on first night then pain following for now two days on and off. Last time I went to hospital.but they sent me home saying it was a bug. I am concerned this could be a long term affect of the disease. I can t find any long term affects on the Internet.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history and understood your problem.

Yes, you can not rally find too much material l related to Salmonella typhi and its sequel and complications.

This is called Typhoid or Enteric fever with its typical natural history, and can reoccur again and again if not treated properly.
This is also a type of bug.
Get the blood, urine and stool tests done again, as also ultrasonography of the abdomen.
Typhoid can cause many complications such as:
Peritonitis and adhesion
these can cause persistent pain in abdomen again and again.
Get a 3 week course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics, and symptomatic and supportive treatment.

I hope you will be fine if you take proper course.
