Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your father has kidney stones and fever. So he has some infection in urinary tract, so he should complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed.  For stone removal many options are there.  But it depends on size of stone, location of stone and symptoms.  Very small asymptomatic stone can leave alone.  Stones less than 3 mm does not require surgery. Conservative treatment is sufficient.  For large stones' lithography can be done. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
