I'm really worried about my brother. He was told he has a positive semen culture for enterococcus faecalis, and now his urologist prescribed two daily injections of mikacin 500 mg for 5 days and a daily tablet of forcan 150. I'm just wondering, is it normal to need so many injections for this type of infection? And is mikacin the right antibiotic for enterococcus faecalis?

**Rephrased Query:** I have a 16mm kidney stone in my gallbladder and I'm really worried can this be dissolved with medicine or will I need surgery? I want a safe and permanent solution, so what's the best way to treat this?

16mm is very big size for a gallstone. Gall bladder stones do not get dissolved with any kind of medications. Rather with time they keep on growing and may lead to severe complications. The only safe and the permanent solution is laparoscopic surgery which is a very simple safe amd permanent treatment optikn with no side effects in whole lifetime ,please visit a laparoscopic surgeon who will explain you all the details related to surgery.avoid oily/spicy foods as these aggravate pain that is caused by the stones.
