Brief Answer:
Has to get the stone removed

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Ureteric calculus is always very painful and it has to be removed because it blocks the flow of urine. Here is how you should go about it

1. 1.2 cm calculus usually does not pass out on it own.
2. It will have to be removed by a small surgery . I recommend you to meet a Urologist as soon as possible for removal of the stone
3. They will pass a small tube through the penis and enter the ureter and basket the stone
4. Tramadol is the best tablet for this type of pain. It can be taken twice daily
5. watch out for fever
6. in the future let him drink 5 to 6 glasses of water per day to prevent stones

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
