Return to MD: Diverticulitis, when mild, can respond to oral antibiotics. However, if your symptoms have persisted, your doctor should re-examine you; (s)he may want to do some blood tests +/- a ct scan. Based on these results it may be best to treat you with IV antibiotics in the hospital. Hope you feel better.
