To reduce kidney stone pain at home:
- Drink plenty of water to promote stone movement.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen.
- Apply heat pads to ease discomfort in the lower back.
- Avoid foods high in oxalates like spinach or nuts that may worsen stone formation.
- Rest until the pain subsides.
If pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention immediately for further evaluation and treatment options like medication or lithotripsy procedures.
