A member asked:
What can someone do for the pain when they have a gallstone attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time or meds: Most episodes of pain from a gallbladder source are over within minutes to hours, but sometimes they last for days or until your gallbladder is out. You can try pain meds, which help sometimes. If you have an infection, though, you need different meds. The ultimate cure though is remove the gallbladder. If you haven't already seen a doctor, make an appointment now.
