Hi, sorry to know about it.
6.6 mm stone is marginally larger. Usually less than 5 mm stone pass spontaneously with urine. There are 70% chances to pass 6 mm stone with urine using medications like alpha blockers. However if the pain doesn't reduce and the stone does not pass, treatment is to undergo ureteroscopic removal of stone which is a simple procedure, or Lithotripsy break up of stone or laser procedure. Please drink plenty of oral fluids.
Get well soon.
