Hello

Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus with sludge is surgical removal of gall bladder.
Now a days,operation is done laproscopically.Recovery is fast by this method.
It is not wise to keep gall bladder calculus for long time.It is prone to get obstruction and infection.
It may also be cancerous if kept for long time.
You are rightly prescribed symptomatic treatment but you should go for definitive treatment.

Take Care
