I had jaundice 3 months ago but recovered 2 months back. Now I'm having upper stomach pain again, tests showed bilirubin at 3.4 and an ultrasound found 6mm gallstones. The doctor recommended gallbladder surgery - is there any way to treat this without surgery? Can these stones dissolve on their own?

I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son. He's been having pain in his lower abdomen for the last couple of days, and it seems to stretch towards the left. This is the third time it's happened in the past two months. The last time, we got all the urine tests, CBC, and an ultrasound done, and they all came back normal. Our physician just gave him some regular medication, and the pain went away. I'm wondering if there's something else we should be doing or if there's a specific cause we might be missing?
