Will mild pancreatitis heal on its own?

Mild pancreatitis usually does not heal on its own and requires patients to go to the hospital for timely examination and treatment so that the inflammation of the pancreas can gradually return to normal. Even in mild pancreatitis, the pain in the abdomen is very severe, the pancreas is swollen, and there is exudation around the pancreas, etc. The patient needs to be treated immediately with fasting, water fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, and drugs that inhibit the secretion of pancreatic enzymes. If the patient does not come to the hospital in time for treatment, it is possible that the patient’s pancreatic inflammation will gradually worsen and may even develop into severe pancreatitis.
