I'm a bit concerned because my platelet count is at 1.24cumm, which I believe is lower than the normal 1.50cumm range, but then I see my total platelet count shows 1.51cumm. I've also noticed some rashes appearing on my palms. Could you advise me on how I could increase my platelet count and if there's any medication I should consider?

The best treatment for removing stones from the liver, specifically the gallbladder, usually involves surgery. There are two main types of surgery: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Open Cholecystectomy .

• Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder. This method is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return to normal physical activity within a week .
• Open Cholecystectomy: This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. This approach is typically used for more complex cases or when the gallbladder is severely inflamed .

It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They may also recommend other treatments, such as medications to dissolve the stones, but surgery is often the most effective solution .
