Q Does post-enteritis sequelae heal on its own, or do I have to get treatment?
A Most cases recover naturally within weeks to months. However, if it lasts over 3 months or disrupts daily life, it is better to speed up recovery with active treatment.
Detailed Answer
More than half of those with hypersensitive symptoms after acute enteritis improve naturally within 6 months. But the rest can become chronic for over a year, and recovery is slower especially in high-stress environments or where dietary improvement is difficult. If symptoms persist, it is wise to bring recovery forward with treatment rather than waiting.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment, through mucosal regeneration and qi-blood replenishment, speeds recovery and prevents chronicity rather than waiting for natural recovery. The earlier you start, the faster the effect.
