Treating Kidney Stones
If the stone is too large to pass through and out of the bladder a surgical procedure is needed. There are two surgical procedures to treat the large stones.

The second surgery consists of the doctor going into the kidneys and removing them himself.
Most often the stone is small enough to pass on its own. If this is the case treatment will likely happen from home. Treatment from home consists of drinking a ton of water as well eating a healthier diet and staying hydrated.
If the nausea becomes too much to handle the doctor may prescribe medication to help manage. Vomiting and having the chills is common and normal when having kidney stones.
