Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor.  I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Recovery after pancreatitis depends on severity of inflammation and may range from 1 to 6 weeks. In case of acute noncomplicated pancreatitis it usually takes 2 weeks till symptom subside. In cases of necrotic pancreatitis it may take much longer and even surgery may be required. If she is treated with pipe and morphine then it may be more severe case of pancreatitis, and it may take 4 weeks for treatment. I hope I have answered you query. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
