This may indicate diverticulosis and treatment for it depends on how bad your symptoms are. If the pain is mild, you are able to drink liquids, and you have no signs ofcomplications, treatment may include:Medicines such as antibiotics and pain relievers. Changes in diet, starting with a clear-liquid or bland diet that is low in fiber until the pain goes away, then increasing the amount of fiber. To establish the severity of diagnosis, you should do CT scan or colonoscopy.
If the pain is severe, you are not able to drink liquids, or you have complications of diverticulitis, a hospital stay is needed. Treatment will include: Antibiotics given in a vein. .Intravenous fluids and nutrition only (no food or drink by mouth) for up to a week to allow the bowel to rest. Only In more severe cases, surgery may be required.
