If you're dealing with a kidney stone, try this:

✅ Stay hydrated 🚰 – Drinking plenty of water can help flush out the stone faster, but if the pain is really bad, stop drinking for a bit and take a painkiller instead.
✅ Use heat 🔥 – A heating pad or hot water bottle on your back or belly can relax your muscles and ease the pain.
✅ Keep moving 🚶‍♂️ – Walking around can help push the stone along.
✅ Take painkillers 💊 – If you can tolerate them, meds like ibuprofen or paracetamol might help, but always check with a doctor first.
✅ Get medical help if… 🚑 – The pain is unbearable, you have a fever, see blood in your urine, or can't pee at all.

💡 Prevent it from happening again: Drink at least 2 liters of water daily, cut down on salt and animal protein, and get regular check-ups.
