Hi, your history suggest, child has ureteric stone in left side.
If i were your treating doctor, then i would suggest
1) There are more chances that stone of size 3x3mm would rapidly pass through.
2) I would recommend to consult an urologist to asses the type of stone and the medical intervention needed to dislodge the stone.
3) Recurrent abdominal pain may be caused due to impeding stones that requires intervention.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
