My dad has kidney stones one is 7mm and the other is 15mm. Because of the bigger stone, his kidney has swollen a bit. Is homeopathic treatment a good option here? Can it actually cure stones this size, and how long might it take? He's really scared of surgery should we still consider it or is there another way?

While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation.
