My mom's gallbladder shows an 11mm size but she has no symptoms at all should we consider surgery or can it resolve on its own? What are the best ways to clear the gallbladder naturally?

If your mom has an 11 mm gallstone but no symptoms (asymptomatic), surgery is usually not needed right away. Many people live without issues, but regular monitoring is advised. Gallstones typically don't dissolve on their own, and "natural" remedies are not proven to clear them. Surgery is considered only if symptoms develop.

I'm really worried because I accidentally drank lemon juice from a copper vessel this morning, and it made me vomit. Even after having lunch, I'm still not feeling great inside. Could this be something serious? Should I be concerned about any long-term effects or do you have any advice on what I should do next?

No problem take antacid and ondensetron,take time consume liquids for today you will be fine.

I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
