Suggest Treatment For Cholangitis

I have recently been diagnosed with cholangitis by my gastro dr but was not prescribed antibiotics. My doctor said ERCP would be the treatment, however, I was hospitalized for 34 days last year with pancreatitis and an ERCP at the time inflamed that condition consideralby. I was wondering if I should ask my dr if I should be on antibiotics, he set me up for a follow up in 4 months to have a blood test done at that time. The cholangitis diagnoses came up as a result of a liver biospsy I had done last month. Thanx p.s. He diagnosed me with crhonic pancreatitis last year.
