My father has a 9mm CBD stone and has been having abdomen pain and jaundice for the last three days. Can this be treated without surgery or is surgery the only option? What are the alternatives?

CBD stones with jaundice usually need ERCP or surgery—delaying may cause serious complications.

Question

I'm really struggling with my stomach issuesgas, acidity, and constipation. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to work. All my tests like endoscopy and sonography come back normal, yet I never feel right. I maintain a simple diet and regularly do exercises like jogging, yoga, and pranayam. Despite this, the acidity rises to the upper side of my stomach, making it hard to breathe, and it keeps me up at night. It seriously makes me feel so hopeless sometimes. Can you please advise on what I should do? I dont have a lot of money to see more doctors, so Im desperate for help here.
