This is unfortunate that this is the reason for disqualification. Stone more than 5 mm is difficult to dissolve especially within 42 days. Start talking Tab ursodeoxycolicacid 300 mg thrice a day × 2 months.
Next Steps
You need to consult Gastroenterologist for further help.

Hi there
I can understand your problem. But if cholelithiasis is the hindrance in your joining or further promotion, it will have to be treated. Moreover, Surgery (can be operated by Laparoscopy) is the definite treatment for cholelithiasis
