Brief Answer:
Extracorporeal lithotripsy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Your right renal stone is small (05 mm) and if it is in the pelvi-calyceal sytem,it is likely to pass out with urine .
The vast majority of ureteral (from kidney) stones <0.5 cm in diameter pass spontaneously
Take plenty of fluids (at least 2 liters /day) for few days.

Non-surgical methods:

Extracorporeal lithotripsy causes the in situ fragmentation of stones in the kidney by exposing them to shock waves. After multiple shock waves, most stones are reduced to powder that moves through the ureter into the bladder.
The second method is ureteroscopy with stone disruption using a holmium laser. Ureteroscopy generally is used for stones in the ureter, but some surgeons are now using ureteroscopy for stones in the renal pelvis as well.

Ayurvedic treatment:

NEERI , a polyherbal auyrvedic drug has therapeutic activity with safety in various types of urinary disorders like urinary calculi (kidney stone).
