Dr. Johnny Green answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Antibiotics!: An "inflamed colon" is usually caused by infections but can also be from inflammatory bowel disease. Typically we start antibiotics then look at the colon with colonoscopy once it has calmed down. Ct scanning can be helpful if symptoms do not improve in a few days.
