What is "enteritis"?
Enteritis is a term used to describe inflammation of the small intestine. It often causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and sometimes vomiting. Enteritis can be caused by various factors, including infections, certain medications, food allergies or intolerances, or inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease. Treatment typically involves resting the digestive system by avoiding solid foods for a period of time, staying hydrated with clear fluids, and sometimes taking medications to relieve symptoms or treat the underlying cause. In severe cases, hospitalization and fluids given through a vein may be necessary to prevent dehydration.
