Quedar (as in to have left/to remain.)

I have read this in the dictionary but I want to make sure I have it right. If someone could please clarify the use of quedar here, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
How many of the pills do you left? Would I say, "¿Cuántas pastillas te quedan? (o le quedan)'"
I don't have anymore. Would be, "No me quedan ningúnos'"
or is there a better way of saying this without even using quedar? I live in Maryland USA where I am usually speaking to gente centroamericana.

mil gracias

"No tengo ninguna más" is acceptable; "No tengo ninguna otra" sounds a bit better (to me); "No me queda ninguna" sounds a lot more natural (to me).

How may pills do you have left? - ¿Cuántas pastillas le quedan?
(Literally: How many pills/tablets remain to you')

I don't have any more. - No tengo ninguno más.

No me queda ninguna.

This is standard Spanish. It should be the same everywhere.

No hay ninguna. - There are none. The last letter in ninguna is a, not o, because it refers to pastilla, which is f.

And for the same reason, I realize after reading Lazarus's reply, I probably should've said above, "No tengo ninguna más."
