Hello
Your father findings suggests acute calculus cholecystitis.
Your father need definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus i,e surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
Gall bladder calculus is prone to infection and obstruction,so it is advised to get rid of calculus early.
Operation can be done after stabilizing conditions like alleviation of pain,infection.
Surgery can be done even in acute condition after evaluation.
