I have a 4mm gallbladder polyp and the pain is bad and had been two weeks what should i do?

Yes you should: Have the gallbladder removed. Small polyps (<1 cm) can usually be followed with routine imaging to make sure it is not growing. If it is causing pain, then that is a reason to remove it. Consult a general surgeon.
