hello m_chandra_shekar ,first of all 'would like to know why you were done US scan probably pain due to cholecystitis ,inflammation of gall bladder,4 mm caliculus in gall bladder is not emergency but severe cholecystitis impending perforation is emergency so you consult general surgeon and on his suggestion you further make decision on treatment
