Why Is Zofran And Methylprednisolone Prescribed With Kidney Stones?

I have a history of Kidney stones, last week I went to my PCP and told him I was still had pain in my right side from the last stone. They Did a Pelvic Xray which did show evidence that I had more stones. He sent me home and told me to drink plenty of water, now that I have my side hurts even more. I called them back today and told them I'm having trouble keeping fluids down because I am so sick to my stomach from all ther pain, he called me in a priscription for zofran and methylprednisolone. How is this going to help with my stones? I am in pain now and he gave me something I can't take till tomorrow. What do I do? Im 5'4 145 lbs and in need for answers

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you have posted I would state that you have pain in loin due to obstructive uropathy due to impacted stone n ureter .

Zopran and Methylprednisolone is not going to help you to relieve your pain and resolve your problem of stones .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regards size and site of the stone and degree of obstruction (Hydronephrosis) .

In the mean while take Antibiotic (Ceprofloxacin) twice daily and Tomsulosin once daily along with pain killer like Spasmo proxyvon .
