the defenitive treatment for the cholecystitis is surgery with the removal of gall bladder. as you have stone also there may be further complications of stone. for the time being it would be antibiotics and no food by mouth with only intravenous fluids. the medical treatment with antibiotics and gut rest would be successfull but is at your risk. i believe the laproscopic surgery is the best option.
