Will The Pain Be Due To Kidney Stone?

Hello. My mom has been in extreme pain for 5 days now with what she says is kidney stones. She did pass one last year after about 5 hours, and she says the pain is the same, so she "knows" that it is stones again. However, she now has a very sore throat and says she is just getting a cold. Do I need to be worried?

Urologist 's  Response
Hi,
I am sorry to know about your mother's condition.
She is probably having a stone in the ureter (the tube connecting kidney with bladder). Since it is a very painful condition and can affect kidney function and/or general condition, it is very important that she gets medical attention as soon as possible.
There are excellent medicines which can control the pain within minutes. However, I cannot prescribe them online. Once you get a confirmation of diagnosis using ultrasonogram and urine microscopy testing, your treating physician will be able to sole the problem very quickly.
A single dose of over the counter pain medication can be given for emergency (if she does not have pre-existing liver or kidney disease). Make her drink a lot of fluids.
I am available for further guidance at any point of her treatment.
Wish your mother a speedy recovery,
Best regards,
