see doctor for kidney stone?

 
Do I have to see a doctor if I think I may have a kidney stone?

No, you do not have to see a doctor if you already know that you have a kidney stone. Most stones pass if you drink ample water, and take pain medications. However, most people are not able to tolerate the pain and thus a visit to the ER is very common. If you develop chills and fevers, it is recommended you see a doctor. Most infected stones need antibiotics.
