Brief Answer:
Drink plenty of fluids; treat infection if any...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Generally, 6mm renal stones will pass off without complication. I will recommend drinking plenty of fluids and use pain medications if it is hurting you.

It would also be worthwhile to get urine tested to rule out the presence of urinary tract infection.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification.

Regards
