Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.
I can understand your concerns. Treatment for Gallstone is surgical management only that is cholecystectomy. If pain is there then take some antispasmodic agent like drotavarine thrice a day.I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
