Hello
Treatment of renal calculus depend upon many things like composition,position,size of calculus etc.
Small calculus may pass spontaneously with adequate hydration.
You should drink lot of water and initially you may need syrup like sodium and potassium citrate.
You may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME.
You may need need further treatment like lithotripsy etc if findings and symptoms persists.
You need proper medical evaluation for dizziness,fianting spells.
Get well soon.
Take Care
