Suggest treatment for cholangitis
Patient: 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. Doctor: Hi, with diagnose Cholangitis, you need to visit your doctor as soon as and take antibiotics, ERCP is most popular diagnosing and treatment method on Cholangitis. Did he diagnosed you after USG ?
