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.
Your doctor may recommend medicines that will help limit the recurrence of kidney stones. You may also take medicine such as calcium channel blockers or alpha-adrenergic blockers to help your kidney stones pass through your body. For small stones, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever. If you have uric acid stones, your doctor may prescribe medicines like allopurinol to help melt the stones.
