Acute enteritis is commonly caused by poor dietary habits—such as irregular meal schedules, consumption of raw or cold foods, spicy or deep-fried foods—or by bacterial infection of the intestines. Therefore, standard treatment for enteritis typically includes antibiotic therapy. Additionally, patients should avoid raw, cold, spicy, and deep-fried foods—ideally eliminating them from the diet altogether. Abdominal warmth should be maintained, and staying up late should be avoided.
