First of all what are your symptoms now? Are you sure you have not passed the stone yet ?
Do we know the cause for right Hydronephrosis ? It could be due to a stone as well.
Ultrasound can miss a stone if its location is in the middle part of ureter.
If you are aymptomatic now, i would suggest to wait till lockdown opens up and get a CT afterwards.
If symptomatic now or you develop symptoms in next few days, ideally go for NCCT KUB
Next Steps
can continue tamsulosin 0.4 mg at bed time
Health Tips
frequent water intake
