Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have pain in loin due to kidney stone of a size of 6 mm.You have not mentioned the precise site of the stone.
The pain that you have is due to obstruction to the flow of urine from kidney and accumulation of urine proximal to the site of impaction what is called as Hydronephrosis.
There is no medicine that can fasten the passage of stone it will pass down spontaneously however it is very difficult to predict when that will happen. It may pass down within day or two or may take months also.
If you have repeated episodes of severe pain and vomiting it is advisable to get it removed by endoscopic procedure what is called as Uretero Renoscopy.(URS).
This will prevent further damage to your Kidney and will give elief from pain.
