Enterocolitis is an inflammation of the inner lining of the small intestine and colon. It can be caused by infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, or certain medications. Symptoms often include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever, which can lead to dehydration if not treated promptly. Treatment for enterocolitis typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as antibiotics for infections or dietary changes for inflammatory conditions. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to provide fluids and nutrients. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications and promote recovery.
