Diverticulitis (dr diagnosed)--on 2 antibiotics. pain contines; moderate not excruciating. can i take ibuprofen? tylenol (acetaminophen) not working.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It takes a few days: You don't say how long since you started the antibiotics. It takes a few days for diverticulitis and similar infections to improve with antibiotics. Ibuprofen might help, but if has been more than 2-3 days, or if you also have fever, contact the doctor treating you.
