Hi.. Depending on the chronicity of the condition the type of treatment and the duration of the treatment varies. Ingeneral an acute pancreatitis help within a week unlike chronic pancreatitis who need long therapies.. Hence depending on the tests and scans doctor will be able to decide the further course of action...
