Hello,
Gall bladder sludge also called as biliary sludge are the residual particles in gall bladder which remain in gall bladder after it sends bile juice to the intestine for breakdown of food.When this sludge gets solidified,it becomes gall bladder stone.
You are having acute attack of cholecystitis at the moment,so treatment should be to get yourself admitted in hospital and intravenous fluids and antibiotics given.
once the inflammation subsides and your symptoms improve,you should consult a surgeon and get it surgically removed as this is the permanent cure of gall bladder sludge or stones.
Although a medical treatment by giving URSODIOL does exist but this is very long,expensive and gall stones tend to form again once you stop the drug.
Discuss with your doctor about tjis.
Thanks
