If your doctor has suggested regular ultrasounds to monitor the cyst size, try to get them done at Govt diagnostic centers or bigger labs with packages. It saves quite a bit of money over the year since these tests need to be repeated. Just make sure the quality of the scan is good.
I had a simple kidney cyst which was detected during a routine scan last year. My doctor told me simple cysts usually don't need any treatment unless they grow very big or start causing pain. I just got my repeat scan done last month and thankfully it's the exact same size, so no treatment was needed.
Please don't worry too much. Many people live with these cysts without even knowing it, just follow whatever your urologist says.

Look, if the cyst is complex, that's different, but if it is a simple cyst, there is no medicine to dissolve it. Just keep your blood pressure in check and limit extra salt in your diet. Get an annual ultrasound done to monitor its size and you are good to go.
When I saw 'cyst' in my report I couldn't sleep for three nights straight, thinking the worst. But seriously, most simple cysts are harmless. Just get a second opinion from a good nephrologist to calm your mind, it really helps with the anxiety.
