It usually takes anywhere from a few days to 4 weeks depending on the stone's size. I hope you find some relief soon.
A small stone can pass in 1 to 2 weeks, but everyone's body is different so we can't be too sure. I deal with PCOS and always try to be cautious about sudden internal pains; please monitor yourself closely and don't hesitate to visit a doctor if the pain becomes unbearable.
A small one usually passes in a couple of weeks if you keep chugging water. Don't stress too much, my friend, just keep a bottle of water next to you all day and let it flush out naturally.
Small stones of 4-5mm can pass in 2 to 4 weeks. I tried drinking barley water (jau ka paani) and coconut water daily, which helped a lot in flushing it out, but please see a doctor immediately if you develop a fever or severe vomiting.

I had a 4mm stone last year and it took exactly 10 days of drinking massive amounts of water to pass. The pain when it moves is bad, but once you flush it out, the relief is instant. Just keep drinking water.
