Hey, don't stress too much! My brother had a small kidney stone last year and it passed naturally just by drinking tons of water. Keep yourself hydrated, drink coconut water, and let's get a quick scan done to see the size, okay?

Listen, if the stone size is large, no amount of water will melt it. Go get an ultrasound scan done first to know the exact size and position. If it is small, the doctor will give medicines to flush it out, so don't delay.

Please get a proper ultrasound and consult a doctor immediately. If you experience severe, sharp pain in your back or side, fever, vomiting, or blood in your urine, these are warning signs. Do not try to treat large stones at home as they can damage your kidneys.

I just recovered from a 5mm kidney stone last month. What worked for me was drinking 3-4 liters of water daily, along with barley water and lemon juice. The pain can be intense, so keep your prescribed painkillers handy as advised by your urologist.

For kidney stones, high fluid intake is the key to flushing them out of your system. Avoid foods high in oxalates, like spinach, tomatoes, and chocolates, for some time. Please make sure to consult a urologist to ensure there is no blockage in your urinary path.
