The treatment of patients with enteritis is based on two main aspects: first, etiological treatment, and second, symptomatic support and nutritional therapy.
First, the common causes of enteritis are mainly considered to be related to bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections, etc. The causes are first found and then removed. The first step is to find the cause and then remove it. Patients with enteritis need to go to the gastroenterology department to do colonoscopy, stool culture and routine and other related examinations to identify the source of infection and then take sensitive antibiotics or antiviral and fungal drugs, and if the parasitic infection needs to be treated with corresponding anthelmintic drugs. The second step is symptomatic support and nutritional therapy. Patients with enteritis are often dehydrated due to the high number of diarrhea, resulting in a weakened body, and therefore require intravenous rehydration or oral rehydration salts to maintain normal circulation levels. In addition, some patients are more sensitive to pain and can be treated symptomatically with appropriate painkillers. It is recommended that patients should pay attention to a light diet, drink more water, and eat less cold and stimulating food to avoid aggravating the condition.
In conclusion, the treatment of patients with enteritis is mainly divided into etiological treatment and symptomatic supportive nutritional therapy depending on the patient’s symptoms.
