How long does pain last after getting salmonella?

Question

I was in Mexico 2 weeks ago and I caught salmonella there. It all started last wednesday, the throwing up and diarrhea. I went to the ER on saturday and they did so many tests and found out I had salmonella. But what is wrong with me, is, actually, not my concern. My concern is this pain! When will it go away? I've had pain and diarrhea for a week and it doesn't seem to be going away. And school starts tomorrow! Please help! And any ideas for making the pain go away will help too.
