Suffered From Salmonella Infection. Having Nausea And Light-headedness. What Could Be The Reason?

Please follow the suggestions below...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have seen the picture of your son you sent in, and there is nothing to be worried about in him.
Please give time to his body to completely cleanse from salmonella infection, it is only about 3 months that he has been cured of salmonella. He had suffered, so now, he needs more rest and time to get back to normal again.
Next, you are saying that your son complains of nausea while eating. Please try to change his diet menu, try to give him what he mostly likes, fresh foods, fresh fruits or vegetables, etc. This is until his gastrointestinal tract gets back to normal again.
Although the testing for Salmonella could be resulted ok, I'd suggest to repeat it after 3 months, after 6 months and after 1 year to prevent the relapse of the disease.
With regards to sweating during night, there are many factors, including anemia, thyroid and other hormonal problems.
For this, you can do complete blood profile (for anemia), thyroid hormones levels (T3, T4, TSH).
I would also suggest to do the copro-culture (culture of feces) for bacterial and candida, and fecal examination for ova/parasites to identify the cause of bloating, abdominal pain and hard feces.
Keeping a good hygiene (especially when preparing the food) together with eating healthy, drinking plenty of water (up to 3 liters /day) and being physically active would help overcome his problems that need time.
Hope it answered to your inquires! Do not hesitate to contact me for any other concern you might have!


The Sports drinks-reasons for nausea and bloating.
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
The drinks he used to have are the real problems. Make him understand that all the sports drinks have too much sugar, sometimes they claim sugar-free, which is the worst.
They also contain soda, which makes the body overload with soda and makes him feel bloated and nauseated all the time.
I usually do not advise my patients to use such soft drinks, especially in young patients to avoid future problems such gastrointestinal as your son is suffering and diabetes in other cases or high blood pressure.
I usually recommend to drink natural water. If he likes juices, prepare him freshly squeezed naturally and with adequate hygiene.
Advise him to have freshly prepared fruit or vegetable juices (at least for 1 month) to get detoxified; advise to eat healthy and keeping a good hygiene.
I am pretty sure after 1 month, your boy will be with more energy as ever. You know what is the culprit, avoid that, live healthy and see the improvements coming soon.
All the best! You may ask other questions and I will try to guide you properly!


Most welcome!
