After you have passed the stone, you should continue 2-3 L per/day to help prevent future stone formation.

If you can, strain your urine to save the stones, and then take them to your health care provider for analysis. Depending on the composition of the stone, decreasing your calcium intake (if it is too high, and decreasing it otherwise is not recommended) may help prevent future stone formation.

I am assuming you found out from your health care provider, did he/she prescribe you pain medication? Even though your kidney stones are small, passing them may be very painful.
Found out in the ER this morning. I follow up with my DR tomorrow. The ER said that I could just use over the counter pain meds for this.
