For certain kinds of kidney stones, K-CIT Syrup is frequently utilised. The size, quantity, and symptoms of gallbladder stones determine how they are treated. Many patients with severe or large gallstones may eventually require surgery to remove the gallbladder, but doctors may occasionally utilise medications like ursodeoxycholic acid to gradually dissolve certain cholesterol gallstones. The results of your scan and symptoms like pain, vomiting, fever, or jaundice will determine how you are treated, so please see a gastroenterologist or surgeon.
