What to drink to help kidney stones pass?

My friend has a kidney stone right now and she's in a lot of discomfort. She's been drinking a lot of water, but I was wondering if there are any other specific drinks that can help a kidney stone pass faster or ease the process?

Ugh, kidney stones sound like pure pain! My friend had them, and she was literally chugging water, like, constantly. She also said lemon water helped a bit. Basically, just keep hydrating like crazy to flush them out. And obviously, go to the doctor, they'll give proper meds.

Hey, kidney stones are super painful, I hear! Don't stress too much, but you gotta deal with it. My aunt was told to drink tons of plain water and also a good amount of lemon water. It helps dilute everything and gives the stone a better chance to pass. But doc ka advice toh pakka lena!

Kidney stones need a doctor's attention for sure. While you're under medical care, the simplest and most effective thing is to drink plenty of plain water, like 3-4 liters a day if you can. Lemon water is also a good option. Avoid sugary drinks and excessive tea/coffee. Keep it basic to help the stone move.

Beta, kidney stones mein takleef bahut hoti hai. Pehle toh doctor ko dikhao. Aur haan, hamare ghar mein log paani bahut zyada peene ko bolte the, aur nimbu paani bhi dete the. Kulthi ka paani bhi dete hain kai log. Lekin ye sab bas madad ke liye hai, dawai toh doctor hi denge.

Ho na, kidney stones ka pain toh bohot difficult hota hai. Pehle toh doctor ko dikhana important hai. Baaki, paani zyada piyo, aur nimbu paani bhi, ho na? Flush out karne mein help karta hai, aisa bolte hain.

Oh my god, kidney stones sound terrifying, I always overthink about things like this. To help them pass, I've heard everyone says to drink so much water it feels like you're turning into a water balloon! And lemon water too. But seriously, please make sure you're getting proper medical advice, because what if it's a big one?
