The main clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and in severe cases, fever and watery stools. Patients often have a history of unclean diet or irregular diet or overeating before the onset of the disease. If these symptoms occur, it is recommended to visit the gastroenterology department to obtain stool and do stool routine and stool culture to identify the source of infection. If the infection is caused by bacteria, it can be treated with sensitive antibiotics and oral or intravenous infusion; if it is a viral enteritis, antiviral treatment can be considered. The specific choice of medication will be based on the test results and the clinician will administer medication for the cause, do not self-medicate. Patients with enteritis may have more severe dehydration because of the number of diarrhea, so intravenous rehydration therapy can be considered to maintain the normal circulating blood volume of the body to avoid serious dehydration of the body leading to other serious diseases. If necessary, colonoscopy can be done to see if there are any abnormalities in the intestinal structure. Patients with enterocolitis should eat a light diet, including liquid foods such as rice, porridge and so on.
