I have a gall bladder stone measuring 19.7 mm and I really don't want to go through surgery are there any effective home remedies that can help dissolve or break it down naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?

Gallbladder stones of nearly 20 mm are quite large and unlikely to dissolve with home remedies. Unfortunately, there are no proven natural treatments to break down such big stones safely. You can discuss with your doctor about non-surgical options like oral bile acid therapy, but these take months and work mainly for smaller cholesterol stones. Close monitoring and surgical removal remain the most effective and safest approach.

I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?
