Brief Answer:
You can take pain killers initially.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
There are no medicines to dissolve Gallbladder stones.
We give Anti inflammatory tablets initially to relieve pain.
If there is no response,Gall bladder has to be removed surgically.Now a days,the procedure is done Laparoscopically in most of the hospitals.
Please consult your doctor and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.

Thanks for help sir. there is no severe pain, mild and negligible pain. I heard that gallbladder has to be removed in case of stones. Isn't there any problem if it will be removed?

There will be mild pain in few individuals.In some,it gets infected leading to severe pain.
There will be no problem even though Gallbladder is removed.
Instead of complications which may arise due to Gallbladder stones, it's better to undergo Surgery Laparoscopically.
Nothing to worry.
