I found out I have gallstones around 0.88 mm in my gallbladder from a USG report but I don't have any pain they were discovered accidentally during a scan for something else. Do I really need surgery or can they be treated with medicine?

Gallstones detected incidentally without pain often don’t need surgery immediately but should be monitored for symptoms or complications.

I was diagnosed with jaundice a few months back, and Im wondering if it's okay to start taking Himalaya Liv 52 now without checking with my doctor first. Could this help my liver recover, or should I be cautious about any risks?
It is generally safe to take Himalaya Liv 52 as a liver support supplement, even if you have a history of jaundice. The recommended dosage for Himalaya Liv 52 is usually 1-2 tablets twice a day. However, it is always best to consult with your general physician before starting any new medication or supplement, especially if you have a history of jaundice.

My 65-year-old mom has multiple gallstones and severe sleep apnea. Doctors say meds won't help and surgery is too risky because it could be life-threatening. What options do we have left? She really wants to live is there any other solution we can try?
U need to take her to a higher center which is equipped to deal with such patients. Be prepared that post operatively her recovery may be slow n would need ventillator n ICU support. Discuss at length n then decide what patient and the family wants
