Home treatment is often the only thing you need to do when passing a kidney stone. Home treatment includes drinking enough fluids, taking pain medicine, and possibly straining and collecting your urine to help determine the type of stone you have.
How readily a stone responds to home treatment mostly depends on the size of the stone. 1  Home treatments are usually effective on stones less than 1/10-inch (3 mm).  Once kidney stones reach about 3/10-inch (8 mm), they are only 20 percent likely to pass on their own with home treatment.
