Brief Answer:
Yes stone can be treated medically
Detailed Answer:
Good day and Thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
Your brother has a single stone in the right ureter (the tube that connects the bladder to the kidney). It is lodged in the most narrow area of the ureter and i think he has around 80 % chance for it to pass on its own. Basing on the CT scan which is 99% in detecting stones he has no stones in the left kidney.
Yes he may continue taking the tamsulosin and the antibiotic Ofloxacin and he can wait roughly about two weeks. If the stone is still there after two weeks or he has intolerable pain uncontrolled by medicines then he can go back to the hospital and the stone can be removed using endoscopic techniques.
I would suggest a diet that is low oxalate and low purine since majority of stones are calcium oxalate and uric acid stones. He should also increase oral fluid intake to 2-3L / day the rest of his life to prevent stone recurrence.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
