How is enteritis treated?

Treatment for enteritis is focused on managing symptoms. Rest and rehydration are usually enough. If the cause is infection, your body will usually fight it without help. Occasionally, a bacterial infection may last longer than usual, and your healthcare provider may prescribe antibiotics to help fight it. If the cause is radiation, your healthcare provider will discontinue your radiation therapy either temporarily or permanently. If the cause is ischemia or autoimmune disease, these conditions must be treated directly. Your healthcare provider may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication for chronic enteritis.
