For the treatment of patients with acute enteritis, the general principles of treatment are removal of the cause and symptomatic supportive therapy, but the specific details, however, vary from person to person.
The onset of acute enteritis is relatively rapid, with the duration of the disease generally not exceeding two months, and patients often present to the gastroenterology department with abdominal pain. Common clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool, nausea and vomiting, fever, etc. For patients with abdominal pain as the main complaint, antispasmodic and analgesic medications can be used; if the patient has more frequent diarrhea, more than 3 to 4 times a day, stool can be collected for stool routine and culture to identify the source of infection, then take the corresponding antibiotics or other drugs for intravenous drip treatment, please follow the clinician’s instructions. If the patient’s body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, physical cooling or antipyretics may be used.
In general, the treatment of acute enteritis starts with identifying the cause of the disease, then removing the cause and taking appropriate symptomatic support for the patient’s intestinal symptoms. In addition, patients should take rest and avoid exertion during the illness to avoid aggravating the disease or prolonging its course.
