How to treat pancreatitis

  Patients diagnosed with pancreatitis need to be treated promptly, because pancreatitis has a great impact on human health and has a high mortality rate. At this stage, the treatment of pancreatitis is divided into non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment includes fasting, nasogastric tube decompression, continuous gastrointestinal decompression, fluid supplementation, antibiotic medication and a series of other treatments.  Pancreatitis can be treated non-surgically if it is not infected in the early stage, and the patient should be decompressed by nasogastric tube first. In addition, the patient should be absolutely prohibited from eating and drinking during this period, and in order to prevent the emergence of shock, fluid replenishment is also needed in a timely manner. For patients with severe pain, analgesic and antispasmodic drugs can be given to relieve pain and spasm. In addition, patients need to be treated with exocrine pancreatic suppression and nutritional support. For patients with early onset of pancreatitis, antibiotics can also be used, and in more severe cases, intravenous application of broad-spectrum antibiotics can be considered. If non-surgical treatment is not effective, then surgical treatment is needed to avoid complications that could endanger the patient’s life.  Patients suffering from pancreatitis must go to the hospital to receive systematic treatment, do not blindly treat without permission, and usually pay attention to diet.
