The symptoms and treatment of enteritis vary depending on its specific type. In acute enteritis, patients may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, and unformed stools, sometimes accompanied by fever. Anti-inflammatory treatment may include cephalosporin antibiotics; diarrhea can be managed with medications such as smectite powder; and antipyretics like ibuprofen may be used for fever control. In contrast, ulcerative colitis typically presents with abdominal pain and mucopurulent bloody stools. Treatment options include mesalazine or biologic agents.
