Could Fever, Minor Convulsions, Low Oxygen And Anemia With History Of Gallbladder And Gallstone Removal Be Serious?
My mom had her gallbladder removed several years ago but had two gall stones removed two weeks ago. Since then she has been running a fever and had 4 minor convulsions and been in the hospital for a week and they have no idea what s wrong. Now her oxygens low and she s anemic. And lost 20lbs. Can u give me any kind of answers please.

Hi
Possibly she had stones in the common bile duct causing infection (cholangitis) which need to be removed by a endoscopic procedure called ERCP. Also she needs strong antibiotics to overcome infection.
If there is no other major organ damage the she should recover with this.
Best wishes
