Could Nausea And Abdomen Pain Be Due To Salmonella?

I am having very bad nausea. I hear that you can catch salmonella from reptiles and i just bought a pet tortoise about 4 days ago. I have been feeling very nauseated, but I do not have diarrhea and am not vomiting. I also have no fever. I have moderate abdominal pain in my upper abdomen. Please tell me if I have salmonella and what i should do about it. If i dont have it, then what's the problem?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. The sign and symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomitting headach etc. But you are noy having these at all. So not to worry. If want to check infection you can go for blood reports like widal test, typhidot test etc.
