In general, if it is acute enteritis, it can be cured in about 1 week with active treatment.
There are various types of enteritis, including acute enteritis and chronic enteritis. Acute enteritis is mostly caused by cold and unclean diet and manifests as sudden onset of abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. Chronic enteritis has a longer duration and recurrent episodes, manifesting as recurrent abdominal pain, abdominal distension, mucus and blood stools. For patients with acute enteritis, treatment with rehydration and anti-infection under the premise of necessary lifestyle interventions can provide significant relief in 2-3 days and healing in about 1 week. In contrast, chronic colitis has a longer course, and anti-inflammatory therapy is not effective, making it difficult to cure it in the short term.
Patients with colitis should correct bad habits and eating habits, maintain adequate supply of water and energy, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid high-fat diet, and avoid spicy and stimulating diet.
