Hello Sir My 18 year son was detected for 10 mm gallbladder stone on 17 May 18 when USG done for upper abdominal pain. The medical specialist advised to take UDCA 300 mg for 30 days to break and removal of stone in natural way and need to be reviewed by surgical specialist. However he had continuous pain in the upper abdominal area with mild fever and heavy head on 27 May 18 and shown to the surgical specialist. The following medicines have been prescribed by him with advice to prepare for surgically removal of gallbladder. The medicines are Ofloxacin 400 mg BD, tinidazole 500 mg BD, combiflam TDS and Pantop 40 mg BD for -5 days. He is taking these medicines for last two days. Now he feels better with no pain. I want to know that is it necessary to remove the gall bladder at this tender age? What would be the after effect of removal of gallbladder in long run? I came to know that there is homeo medicine called Berberis vulgaris mother tincture which can be taken three times daily of 10 drops for naturally removal of this stone. What is the success rate of this medicine? Now my question is whether to administer homeo medicine first and wait for some time to see the result before surgically removal of gallbladder.

Hello Lybrate user, 10 mm stone in the gallbladder is less likely to get dissolved by medication. The pain and inflammation will temporarily get relieved by the medication given by the surgeon and likely to occur again. Now it is uncomplicated, But we cannot give a guarantee that it may not be complicated when it presents next time. There is a tendency to form dense adhesions on repeated attacks which can complicate the surgery. So better follow what your surgeon has said and get it operated when it's not complicated.
