I've been dealing with a kidney stone for about a week now - it's 4.2 mm in size. Every morning I get this sharp pain and it's really uncomfortable. I'm already getting treatment but I'm worried if this might need surgery or if it can pass on its own

I'm trying to understand more about my urine culture report that showed an E. coli infection. I'm a bit stressed about what this means for treatment. Do I need to take pills, or should I expect injections? Could it require hospital admission? I'd really appreciate some guidance on the diagnosis process and which type of doctor I should see. I've got my reports with me if that helps.
