Will 2 episodes of mild acute cholangitis (from stone in cbd) within a span of 10 days, cause liver cirrhosis? the second time it was only mild fever which came at night and was gone by next morning after taking antibiotic. any chance of cirrhosis?

No, cirrhosis only develops in chronic liver disease which present year after year. However, the gallbladder needs to be resected to prevent future infection which sometimes can be life threatening.
