General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Ketorolac is Torodol, an NSAIDS which is not advisable to be given more than the prescribed dose because it will cause kidney damage, breathing problems, drowsiness, etc.

You are suggested to get your son clinically examined by a GP/Surgeon. Get all blood workouts & Imaging tests done. Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the pathology detected (medicines, lithotripsy or surgery). Get him treated at the earliest.

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

Take care.

Regards,
