Pancreatitis

Asked for Male, 25 Years

My brother had an excruciating pancreatitis attack 5 4 years ago. He was admitted to hospital and the doctor said it's acute and it will get better in time. Meanwhile he had one or two minor attacks again in last couple of years until last week he again had a very painful attack and this time the doctors are saying his pancreatitis is not healing it is as it was 4 years ago and hence they termed it chronic pancreatitis this time. I am very worried abt him. Pls guide me what is the best treatment

He has to be evaluated for cause of pancreatitis . The most common causes are alcohol and gall bladder stones. He should abstain from alcohol and has to be evaluated for gall bladder stones. If these are not the causes he needs further evaluation and close follow up.
