General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr. Parth Goswami's Response

Hello,

Your doctor is right. Gall stone inflammation by the stone can lead to pain. For that cholecystectomy means removal gall bladder needed. Symptomatic gall bladder needs to be removed. Until then ibuprofen and antibiotic course can be prescribed. If you have no money for the operation, then government hospital, if available can be searched for.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
