Ways To Treat Epiploic Appendagitis

Take Antibiotics If Needed

As a self-limiting condition, epiploic appendagitis usually goes away on its own without the need for antibiotics. However, if there is an infection or a high risk of developing an infection, antibiotics may be necessary. Additionally, if a patient's case is caused by an underlying condition, they may not experience relief until that is treated. In these cases, antibiotics may be necessary. Once the underlying condition is treated, the symptoms associated with epiploic appendagitis will generally resolve themselves. Patients should notice an improvement within a few days of taking an antibiotic, with noticeable recovery in a week or so.
