Contact treating MD: 35 year old gentleman with questions about his diverticulitis treatment. Please contact the physician who is treating you and communicate with him or her about your new symptoms. Since your MD knows your case best and has examined you, seen your imaging studies, they are the most qualified to help you and should be informed. Good luck.

Diverticulitis: It is possible that it is not working, specifically if symptoms are coming back. Possible complications of diverticulitis, alternate diagnoses as well as a review of your antibiotic coverage would be considered by your physician once you make him or her aware. Please inform your treating physician about your symptoms as soon as possible.
