A 7 mm gallstone in a 5.5-year-old child who is asymptomatic usually does not require immediate surgery. Most pediatric gallstones are monitored unless symptoms develop. Ensure evaluation for causes (hemolytic disorders, obesity, medications).
Next Steps
Pediatric gastroenterology review and ultrasound follow-up in 6 months.
Health Tips
Avoid very fatty foods and seek care if abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever appears.
