What Is Cholangitis?

8. Recovery
Cholangitis does not get better on its own and could lead to complications if left untreated. You may receive antibiotic medications to treat infection, if one is present. If your symptoms resolve with antibiotics, your doctor will probably allow you to go home once your condition improves.
Following surgery, such as an ERCP, your doctor may allow you to return home to recover or keep you in the hospital for at least one more day for observation. Postsurgical symptoms may include a sore throat due to the endoscope, nausea, and bloating.
