I was diagnosed with an 11mm gall bladder stone last year and currently can't get surgery because of covid. Are there any medicines that can help dissolve the stone or at least manage the pain and vomiting until I can get the operation

Gallstones can sometimes be managed with ursodeoxycholic acid; however, surgery is the definitive treatment once symptoms appear.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this piles issue for the past couple of days. The pain is getting unbearable, and I've heard that Meftal Spas 250 mg might help with the pain relief. Is that a good option, or should I consider something else? Can you advise on any other treatments or pain relief methods that might work for piles?

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with piles. Meftal Spas 250 mg can help alleviate pain and discomfort, as it contains an analgesic and antispasmodic. However, it's best to consult with your doctor for a personalized treatment plan and to ensure it's the right option for your condition.

My colonoscopy showed a bulging appendix orifice with a small tumor that hasn't grown in two years. Should I keep monitoring it or opt for surgery? I'm worried they might remove my ileocecal valve too since it's close by, and I'm not sure if the tumor is even harmful what's the best move here?

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
