Stone in the kidney will usually not cause any problems. If he has pain please get a confirmation with a CT scan. Urimax will facilitate passage of stone if it is blocked in the ureter and not for stone in the kidney. Will need further evaluation if pain is present
Next Steps
CT scan of kidney and urinary system.
Health Tips
Medicine is of no use if stone is inside the kidney.
