Mr Soni,
Pain, Vomiting (liver infection details -not provided)
ultrasound - gallstones, liver enlarged (no other reports)
next steps: 1. endoscopy on empty stomach to rule out ulcer as cause for pain.
2. Liver function tests-to look for jaundice
3. If all above tests are normal
- may require removal of gallbladder & stones (laparoscopic surgery)
4. Use pain killers & antacids till you consult your G I surgeon
- for further assesment & surgery.
