I recently had an abdominal ultrasound that showed multiple small gallstones in my gallbladder, the largest being 4mm. I haven't had any pain or issues so far do I still need surgery? Also, the scan showed Grade 1 fatty liver how serious is that? Should I be worried?

Is there anything specific we should watch out for or any additional treatment options we could consider?

Question

I'm a 45-year-old woman and I was recently advised to take deworming tablets because I had a stomach infection a few days ago. I'm curious about which deworming tablet is recommended for adults in India. Is there just one option available, or are there other alternatives to consider? I'm also wondering if taking the tablet is a permanent solution, or if there's a chance the issue could come back.
