Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
It seems to be a renal colic caused by kidney stones.
Your husband need to see a doctor.Anti-inflammation drugs like Tylenol or Ibuprofen and warm compresses can ease the pain but the symptoms will not get better until the stone has passed.
He need an abdominal ultrasound to evaluate the presence of the stones ,their size and to evaluate the probability of spontaneous passage of the stone.
He may develop a secondary urinary infection that need to be treated to prevent complications.
I would suggest to go to ER and get examined.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.
Kind regards,
