An infection of a swollen and inflamed gallbladder is called acute cholecystitis. It can be serious, and patients need to seek treatment as an inpatient in a hospital. Sharp pain under the right ribcage that spreads toward the right shoulder is typical for infection. The abdomen hurts a great deal; even deep breathing can hurt. In this condition, the pain doesn't get better in a few hours. There might be a high fever, nausea and vomiting, sweating, jaundice, and even swelling in the abdomen. Patients with acute cholecystitis must take antibiotics for the infection. Acute cholecystitis is a complication that is not unusual for individuals with gallstones. Calling a physician or going to an emergency room right away is good policy and will increase the chances of antibiotic treatment working well and quickly.
