Hello,

Yes, they can do that also. But if they claim that they can't be removed, maybe it's true. But you need to do Lab tests and Imaging.

As for the treatment, I would like to suggest some tests first along with medications without any delay. Tests are:

1. Complete Blood Count
2. Urine analysis
3. Kidney CT

I would like to start this medication Ofloxacin 200 mg orally every 12 hours for 10 days.

If there is too much pain, Ibuprofen 300mg when needed. After the medication course and tests results come, you need to post another question.

A doctor here in Healthcaremagic will follow you up. If any procedure has to be done, you can go to a reputed clinic near you. Even you can find a clinic from Healthcaremagic.

Meanwhile, I would request you to follow these guidelines: In general, you can help to prevent kidney stones by drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding dehydration.

This dilutes your urine and decreases the chance that chemicals will combine to form stones.

You can prevent calcium oxalate stones by eating low-fat dairy products and other calcium-rich foods. Taking calcium supplements, however, can increase the risk of stone formation.

People who excrete too much oxalate into their urine should avoid eating foods high in oxalate. These foods include beets, spinach, chard and rhubarb.

Tea, coffee, cola, chocolate and nuts also contain oxalate, but these can be used in moderation. Eating too much salt and meat can cause more kidney stones to form.

Thank you and do not worry. Even there are surgeries. If nothing works, we will go for that. I hope this will give you comfort.

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

Take care

Regards,
