I'm 28 and have gallbladder stones but don't feel much pain. I was considering surgery but wondering if medicines can dissolve them permanently. Since I'm not in much discomfort, is surgery still the best option for me?

conservative treatment is advised analgesics and antiotics for 5-7 days is advised to the patient.

I've been having stomach pain every five minutes for the past three days, and it feels like my stomach is swelling. Do you have any idea what could be happening or how I can make it stop?

I'm experiencing chest pain, probably due to gas acidity, and it feels uncomfortable. I even have cramping pain in my abdomen that doesn't seem to go away, lasting until the next day. Plus, after every meal, I notice some gas forming. Should I be concerned, or is there something specific I should do to manage this better?

You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend taking an antacid medication to help with the acidity and gas. Additionally, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor to reduce stomach acid production. It is also important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating smaller meals more frequently. If the symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
