I have two gallstones around 910 mm in size and want to explore non-surgical options to remove them. What are my best alternatives to surgery for getting rid of these stones?

Liver flushes aren’t proven—gallstones ≥9 mm often require surgery; don’t delay if symptomatic.

I've been on Sompraz HP for 14 days, and now my doctor wants me to switch to Sompraz L. I'm worried it might be addictive. Do I really need to take it, or can I skip it?

Sompraz L is not addictive, but you should not stop it abruptly without your doctors guidance. Consult your doctor to discuss alternative treatments or a plan to gradually reduce or discontinue the medication.

I've been having some trouble whenever my stool comes out hard. It causes a lot of pain, and then it hurts the whole day when I'm sitting. But when my stool isn't hard, everything seems normal and there's no pain at all. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

The persistent fever despite various treatments and normal test results suggests an underlying infection or inflammatory condition. The elevated CRP (43mgL) and mildly abnormal LFTs indicate ongoing inflammation. Consider further testing, such as imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) or infectious disease panels, to identify the underlying cause. Consultation with an infectious disease specialist or a rheumatologist may be beneficial.
