Paediatric Pancreatitis: What is it and How is it Treated?
Pancreatitis refers to the inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a long, flat gland located behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. It produces enzymes that help in digestion and hormones that help regulate body sugar. According to Dr Ashish Dharmik, MBBS, MS and MCH (General Surgery), Senior Consultant in Paediatrics and General Surgery, pancreatitis is uncommon in children and may improve with treatment. If left unnoticed, however, it can cause life-threatening complications. Hence, if you notice any change in your childβs health, consult the best child specialist in Chandigarh at the earliest.
