My husband recently passed a kidney stone, and the pain was absolutely unbearable for him. We're trying to be prepared if it happens again. What can be done to treat kidney stone pain when it's at its worst?

When managing kidney stone pain, be careful with sweet sports drinks or packaged juices meant for hydration. Stick to plain water or unsalted nimbu paani without sugar, as high sugar intake is not good for your overall health anyway.

Hey, don't stress too much, kidney stones are super common and totally treatable. Just drink plenty of water, use a heating pad on your back for some quick relief, and call your doc for a proper painkiller prescription.

Does the pain also make you feel like vomiting? I have this sharp ache on my right side that comes and goes, and it is honestly so scary. Did anyone else get relief just by taking hot fermentations or did you have to go to the ER?

That pain is literally agonizing, I remember crying in the middle of the night because nothing would make it stop. Please don't try to be brave and bear it, ask your doctor for real pain management medicines, you deserve relief.
