The standard regimen for diverticulitis is the combination of Ciprofloxacin and Flagyl.  These are given for 10-14 days.  A CT scan can be considered for further evaluation.

If there is an allergy to Cipro, Augmentin can also be used.

This can be discussed with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
