Hello
Treatment of renal calculus depend upon many things like size,composition of calculus etc.
Calculus less than 4 mm is expected to pass spontaneously whereas large calculus may need intervention.
Patient may need diet alteration depending upon its composition like patient with urate calculus should avoid high purine diet.
Your brother may need stone dissolving drugs initially.
He should drink lot of water and need regular follow up.
