Question : I had a very chronic UTI and now i'm having a recurring kidney stone......i just want to get rid of it but at the same time i cannot consume strong allophatic medicines much......the more i consume the more i get weak which makes me vulnerable to many other diseases viz, gastric, piles UTI etc....moreover, I'm having stickiness in my throat and my mouth taste sour.....is it related to kidney stone or is it because of some other disease? And please suggest some medicine to help me pass the stone from my kidney yet quite mild and doesn't affect my health....

Brief Answer: Not related to kidney stones Detailed Answer: Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. I reviewed your quiery.. altered taste might not be related to kidney stones, presence of coating in the mouth might alter the taste and even cause the stickiness.. The best solution is to use mouthwash two times a day atleast, it improves your taste sensation.. it is advised to take vitamin c and b6 rich foods like citrous fruits, vegetables etc. Vitamin A supplementation is advised, it is rich in fish. Renal stones, if smaller in size, then take lot of water - atleast 3 to 4 litres per day if you dont have any other restrictions.. Consult your doctor and take syrups containing electrolytes such as potassium salts which helps to contain the size of renal stones.. but this should be avoided if you have any signs of renal disease Thanks
