Time: Time. There is a medication called Donnatal (phenobarbital atropine hyoscyamine and scopolamine) however, that can help. This is only a temporary solution. Definitive treatment is surgical removal of the gallbladder, typically done with a technique known as laparoscopy, using small incisions and a camera.

Bowel rest: while you have gallbladder attack I recommend to stick to water and stay away from fatty foods. Some OTC meds can help- like motrin. But get surgical evaluation sooner then later, since the longer you wait, potentially more scarring can occur, therefore making a surgery harder ( for the surgeon)
