Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
The most common advice for kidney stones involve drinking different fluids to help flush the stones out.
Be sure to drink plenty of water as well and extra lemon juice.
Continue this treatment for several days until the stone passes.
It is thought that the lemon juice could break down the kidney stones and the olive oil would aid in lubrication to pass the stone more easily.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
Regards,
dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
