Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Treatment of kidney stones is by medications and surgery.
In medical management following are used.
(i) Drinking water might help flush out your urinary system.
(ii) Pain relievers to relieve mild pain, your doctor may recommend pain relievers such as ibuprofen.
(iii) Medical therapy with an alpha blocker, relaxes the muscles in your ureter, helping you pass the kidney stone more quickly and with less pain.

In surgical treatment using sound waves to break up stones called lithotripsy is commonest method. This is out patient procedure.
