Symptoms of small bowel inflammation

Small enteritis is an inflammatory reaction caused by bacterial or viral infection of the small intestine. It is generally manifested as abdominal pain. The pain is concentrated in the mid-abdomen or periumbilicus. In severe cases, it will show pain in the whole abdomen. In addition, patients with small enteritis will also show symptoms of diarrhea. The stool is generally clear or mushy. If the infection damages the gastrointestinal mucosa, it will also show mucus pus and blood. Some patients with small enteritis will also be accompanied by fever. Small enteritis is usually caused by unhygienic diet, so patients need to pay attention to washing hands frequently. Because small enteritis caused by increased frequency of stool may cause dehydration, so patients need to supplement water properly, under the guidance of the doctor to take oral rehydration salts and antidiarrheal drugs.
