It’s great to hear that the gallstone has completely dissolved with medication and your child is doing well. In most cases, especially when the gallstone is small and asymptomatic (as in your child’s case), medical dissolution with ursodeoxycholic acid (Udiliv) is effective. However, yes, gallstones can recur, even after successful dissolution — though recurrence is not common, especially if the child remains asymptomatic and has no underlying risk factors.

I understand your concern, asymptomatic gall stones are usually least important. Need to exclude common diseases involving appearance of gall stones.

Yes, gallstones can recur even after dissolution. Factors like genetics, diet, and underlying conditions can contribute to their re-formation. Regular follow-up with a doctor is advisable.

Gallstones are uncommon in infancy but are increasingly diagnosed due to improved diagnostic facilities of ultrasound and access to health care services. The baby is asymptomatic and in absence of underlying disease like hemolytic problems, jaundice or any other apparent congenital problems it seems fair to advise that you should relax. Hopefully, it should not recur. I assume no other risk factor has been identified to make us believe he should have a recurrence

Yes
