Hello
Your child's findings suggest 5.5 mm gall bladder calculus in neck region.
Since your child is symptomatic,You should plan for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus.Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is Cholecystectomy(surgical removal of gall bladder).
Gall bladder calculus are prone to obstruction and infection.It is also carcinogenic if kept for long time.
So,it is better to get rid of it.
During pain you can give analgesics.
You should consult surgeon for management.
Get well soon.
