Suggest Treatment For Kidney Stone

I have had a diagnosos of a kidney stone, found in a ct scan last week after 3 days of pain. I left the hospital a week ago and still have not passed the stone, it is 4 mm. The pain has moved from my rt side and back to my supra pubic area, where it has been now for about 3 days, I am taking tylenol #3 and Advil every 4 or 5 hrs to achieve comfort. I am drinking lots of water and other fluids. What do I do to move this thing along and out??

Hello
Thanks for query.
You had severe pain in flank and had been detected on C.T scan to have a stone of a size of 4 mm in your Rt kidney ..The shifting of pain from loin to supra pubic region suggest that it has moved down in lower part of ureter .

In most of the cases the stone gets stucked up at the Vesico Ureteric Junction where the diameter of ureter is minimal ..Continue taking treatment and add Tab Tomsulosin once daily and Tab Drotaverine twice daily .This will help to dilate the ureter and there by passing the stone down in to bladder.

Ensure to drink more water to produce more urine that will also help to flush out the stone .
