Treating chronic colitis and what to do about it

Chronic colitis is mainly relieved by general treatment such as diet adjustment, medication such as azathioprine and norfloxacin, and surgery.
1. General treatment: when patients have severe symptoms such as diarrhea, they should fast and abstain from food and water to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, and at the same time pay attention to replenish water to avoid water-electrolyte imbalance. The diet of patients in remission should be light, easy to digest, balanced nutrition, can be high protein, low fat, less residue diet, such as egg custard, rotten noodles, etc., and appropriate supplementation of folic acid, vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients.
2. Drug therapy: patients with inflammatory bowel disease can take Liuzosulfapyridine, glucocorticoids, azathioprine and other drugs for treatment; patients with bacterial infections can take ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, cephalosporin and other antibiotics for anti-infective treatment; intestinal bacterial imbalance of the patient can take bifidobacteria and other intestinal probiotics.
In addition, patients can also be symptomatic treatment. If the patient’s diarrhea is severe, can take montelukast and other antidiarrheal drugs; if the patient is accompanied by significant abdominal pain, can take atropine, scopolamine and other antispasmodic and analgesic drugs; constipation is serious, patients can use Kaiser Permanente, lactulose, and other laxatives, to promote the discharge of stools.
