I'm dealing with this really stubborn gas issue. My doctor already advised taking some tablets and something called seriuf. Still, the problem just won't go away. What should I do next?

My mom has gallstones that are 34mm in size can they be treated with medications or will she need surgery
For gallstones of 34mm, surgery is generally recommended, rather than medication. While medications can sometimes be used to dissolve cholesterol stones, this is not a reliable approach for large stones or stones causing symptoms.

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?
