I have a 22mm and 6mm kidney stone on my right side is there any way to treat it without surgery? I'm really worried because I can't afford surgery right now. Are there other options or home remedies that might help? Also, if surgery is the only way, how much would it cost?

My dad has been dealing with frequent urination for a long time. The reports show no infection, but he still goes way too often even though he doesn't drink much water.
