Difference between enteritis and gastroenteritis

The difference between enteritis and gastroenteritis lies first in the difference in the location of the disease, enteritis refers to the intestinal mucosa of chronic inflammatory lesions, and gastroenteritis refers to the intestinal tract and stomach of chronic inflammatory lesions. The second point of the difference in clinical symptoms. Patients with enteritis will mainly show abdominal pain, accompanied by changes in stool, such as diarrhea, constipation or show increased frequency of stool, stool does not form, paste, rotten stool and so on. Gastroenteritis not only shows the clinical symptoms of enteritis, but also shows the clinical symptoms of gastritis, such as upper abdominal pain, upper abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, etc. The third difference is the difference in treatment. For enteritis, probiotics are mainly given to regulate intestinal flora disorder treatment, such as oral Clostridium butyricum live tablets or Bacillus subtilis live capsules. In addition to the probiotics mentioned above, gastroenteritis patients generally need to be treated with drugs for gastritis, such as acid suppressants, including proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and lansoprazole. The above regimens are for reference only. Please use specific drugs according to your own situation under the guidance of a professional doctor.
