Question 1

I've got a 4 mm kidney stone and there's some mild swelling on my left ureter. The pain and vomiting I'm experiencing are really concerning me. Could you advise on how serious this is and what steps I should take to manage it?

Accepted Answer

You are experiencing symptoms of kidney stones with associated complications. To help with the pain and promote the passage of the stone, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe tamsulosin to help relax the muscles in the ureter and facilitate the passage of the stone. If the pain is severe, stronger pain medications such as ketorolac may be prescribed. In cases of persistent vomiting, antiemetic medications like ondansetron can be helpful. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each medication.
