Type: article

Abstract: Complaints of gallstone disease at the age of 19 years is uncommon. Here, we report a case of choledocholithiasis in a teenage girl who recovered with homoeopathic medication within months. A 19-year-old girl complaining of pain in her right hypochondrium with vomiting attended a government homoeopathic outpatient department. The case was taken following Hahnemannian guidelines. The patient reported with an ultrasonography (USG) report. Based on the clinical history, examination, and the USG report, the patient was diagnosed with choledocholithiasis. Cinchona officinalis was prescribed based on the totality. Within two weeks of initiating treatment, the patient experienced reduced pain and cessation of vomiting. Over the subsequent month, improvement continued, with further pain reduction and progressive recovery. Remarkably, after two months, an ultrasonography report revealed the absence of biliary calculi. Further follow-ups reveal no relapse or reappearance of the complaint.
