Hello,

Get clinically examined by a GP, get few more required blood tests and investigations (abdominal USG, CT, etc.) done. You will be accordingly treated depending on the size and location of the stone. Your treating doctor can initially give you medicines that will reduce your discomfort & aid to dissolve the stone.

It works if the stone is small otherwise removal by surgery, is the best advice. You will be given conservative treatment with antibiotics, analgesics, antacids, etc. post-surgery. You can try herbal medicines or apple cider. Loose weight if overweight.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
