Diverticulitis is treated using diet modifications, antibiotics, and possibly surgery. Mild diverticulitis infection may be treated with bed rest, stool softeners, a liquid diet, antibiotics to fight the infection, and possibly antispasmodic drugs.
Your doctor is likely to recommend:Antibiotics to treat infection, although new guidelines state that in very mild cases, they may not be needed.A liquid diet for a few days while your bowel heals. Once your symptoms improve, you can gradually add solid food to your diet.
