Treatment for pediatric IBD is aimed at reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and achieving remission. Common treatments include: - Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, and biologics are often prescribed to control inflammation and immune response. - Nutritional Therapy: Special diets and nutritional supplements may be necessary to address malnutrition and promote growth. - Surgery: In severe cases where medication is ineffective, surgical intervention may be required to remove damaged portions of the intestine.
