Some patients with enteritis will develop fever as a complication. In treating the complication of fever in enteritis, we should actively treat it based on the cause of enteritis and manage the fever symptomatically. To reduce fever in enteritis, we can first use physical cooling methods, such as turning on the air conditioning, lowering the room temperature, or wearing less clothing. It is important to protect the abdomen from getting cold during this time. When the fever is severe, it is advisable to replenish with saline solutions, etc., to improve dehydration and balance electrolyte disturbances. It is also important to seek medical attention in a timely manner and to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

How to cure adult enteritis completely?

This refers to chronic colitis. The main symptoms of chronic colitis include abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, and mucus in the stools. Using a colonoscopy, one can observe the intestinal mucosa showing congestion, edema, or erosion, as well as white mucus adhering to the intestinal mucosa. With these observations, a diagnosis of chronic colitis can be made. In terms of treatment, Western medicine primarily involves the oral administration of probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. In Chinese medicine, treatment may involve herbal medicine taken orally based on differential diagnosis. Additionally, external treatments in Chinese medicine, such as moxibustion, enemas with Chinese medicine, or herbal hydrotherapy, can be used to treat the disease, and the treatment effects are good.

How to alleviate enteritis.

Enteritis can be divided into acute gastroenteritis and chronic enteritis. Acute gastroenteritis is usually caused by exposure to cold or improper diet, characterized by sudden onset, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and sometimes accompanied by vomiting and fever. In this case, treatment measures should be taken according to the specific cause, such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiemetic, spasmolytic analgesics, and hydration, etc. If it is chronic enteritis, treatment plans should be determined based on the specific symptoms. Generally, measures such as anti-inflammatory, analgesics can be appropriately combined with drugs that regulate gastrointestinal function, and probiotics are also helpful. If it is inflammatory bowel disease, which belongs to an immune system disease, immunotherapy should be adopted. (The use of medications should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

How is enteritis treated?

Gastroenteritis can generally be divided into viral gastroenteritis and bacterial gastroenteritis. In terms of treatment, the first is pathogen treatment, and the second is symptomatic treatment. For pathogen treatment, it is best to choose antibacterial drugs based on the type of bacteria for bacterial gastroenteritis; however, viral gastroenteritis generally does not require pathogen treatment, and most patients can recover on their own. For symptomatic treatment, since gastroenteritis may cause symptoms such as dehydration and vomiting, it is necessary to timely provide fluid replenishment to the patients to prevent mild dehydration.

What to do with infant enteritis?

When an infant has enteritis and frequently diarrhea, it is essential to treat this condition. First, you should administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, medications that stop diarrhea and regulate intestinal flora are needed. If the infant has numerous bouts of diarrhea, followed by reduced urine output or cries without tears, it indicates dehydration. In such cases, it's important to replenish fluids, possibly through oral rehydration salts. If the infant shows significant restlessness or cries without any tears at all, or if there is a noticeable decrease in urine output, fluid replenishment therapy is necessary.
