Hello,
Permanent cure for diverticulitis is resection of the part. If not severe then you may get it local examination and CT abdomen.
During flare-ups need to start antibiotics and pain killer medication.
Take a soft diet at regular intervals. If symptoms not improved please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
