Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is possible that the hydrocodone/acetaminophen would be effective for his pain relief. He may also need a relaxant to help with the spasms in the renal system due to the stones. The use of a lot of fluids is recommended. If the pain is severe, then he should be assessed because some stones are too large to be passed in this way.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
