General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

The symptoms you are experiencing are due to cholecystitis. I advise to :
- repeat the ultrasound report
- run liver function test
- get a complete blood test done

in order to evaluate your health condition accordingly.

If cholecystitis will be confirmed, I advise to start taking:
- oral antibiotics
- oral spasmodics
- drink plenty of water
- take vit.E and milk thistle extract supplementation

You might need prescription for antibiotics and spasmodics from your physician.

Healthy lifestyle and diet changes are advised:
- eat often, small portions
- avoid oily/nuts/salty foods
- increase water intake
- get more physical activity

Wish fast recovery!
