Whether there can be a temperature at a pancreatitis?

1 The essence of the manifestations of

The organism, having found a pathogenic microflora, begins to give signals to the hypothalamus, a small area of ​​the brain responsible for regulating the internal environment of the body. It, in turn, provokes the release of internal energy, which is manifested by chills, body heat and lack of sweat. The temperature at a pancreatitis means, that the inflammatory process has begun, and the body has started work of immune system.

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas when there is blockage of the ducts and active elements destined for digestion remain in the gland which begins to split itself. The cause of the disease are chronic diseases, infections, gallstones and alcohol abuse.

In the early stages of the disease, body temperature may rise slightly, to 37.3 ° C, or not to rise at all. The patient feels slight discomfort in the area of ​​the stomach after eating fatty and fried foods. This temperature can be constant for several months or occur at different intervals.

An attack of pancreatitis is characterized by a rapid increase in temperature. In addition, additional symptoms appear:

1. Severe pain in the upper abdomen, giving to the left side of the chest and back. Sometimes the patient complains of shingles.
2. There is a feeling of heaviness, fullness of the stomach, there is nausea, in some cases, vomiting.
3. Sometimes after an attack the patient complains of severe diarrhea.

The temperature in this case can reach 39-40ºС and last from several hours to a day. The patient's condition is extremely dangerous, it is urgent to undergo hospitalization. Absence of treatment can lead to complications, such as peritonitis( purulent inflammation of the peritoneal region), internal bleeding.

2 Possible consequences

The constant or periodic temperature in pancreatitis at 38 ° C indicates a chronic course of the disease, and therefore, the possible transient states of a number of located organs. Such indicators indicate a constant inflammatory process, which can go into peritonitis or bleeding.

Both the high thermometer column and the too low one speak about the critical state of a person. If it dropped to 35.5 ° C, this could mean:

• dehydration;
• pain shock;
• started internal bleeding;
• pain after eating;
• vascular collapse.

Increased temperature in pancreatitis may indicate an intoxication of the body due to the decomposition of its own pancreatic enzymes.

Any increase in the mercury column of a thermometer exceeding 37 ° C, which occurs periodically or lasts for a long time, requires a diagnosis and an appropriate treatment.

The Analgin or Aspirin tablet will help to remove the fever and carry out recovery procedures to relieve the inflammatory process. Spasms and pain will help to remove No-shpa and Duspatalin. With a persistent pain syndrome will help Ranitidine and Famotidine. In the period of elevated body temperature, you should drink as much drinking water as possible.

After restoration of the temperature regime it is necessary to apply preventive measures:

• to refuse from fatty, fried foods and alcohol;
• avoid starvation;
• promptly consult a doctor;
• observe the intake of prescribed medication.

Attentive to the body will be the best prevention of pancreatitis, which will help prevent a rise in temperature.
