If the pain symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are mild, applying a hot water bottle to the abdomen and drinking plenty of warm water may significantly relieve the discomfort. For more severe pain, antibiotic medications may be used under a doctor's guidance to control inflammation; commonly prescribed drugs include azithromycin and doxycycline. Additionally, moxibustion can also help alleviate symptoms.
