Diverticulitis is an inflammation or infection in one or more small pouches in the digestive tract.

Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers Tylenol, Aleve, Advil, and Motrin, as your doctor deems appropriate.
A clear liquid diet for a few days
Commonly used, broad-spectrum antibiotics include:
Metronidazole (Flagyl)
Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra)
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Amoxicillin
Clavulanate (Augmentin)
