Brief Answer: Yes, it is possible Detailed Answer: Hi. Yes, it is possible that the pain may be due to infection or stones in the gall bladder. Since the pain is there for over a week and there is a history in the family, I would recommend you to undergo Ultrasonography of the abdomen ASAP to find out the the cause. And go for blood investigation to rule out any medical problems. A Contrast enhanced CT scan would be advisable to confirm the findings on ultrasonography. Please continue your medicines - endep and mersydol as before.
