Dear lybrate-user. Renal stones less than 5 mm have tendency to pass out naturally. You don't need to any medicine for that. And small stones that are not obstructing urine flow from kidney do not cause renal failure. Just have plenty of fluids and don't waste your precious money on unnecessary treatment.
