<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello. My mom has been in extreme pain for 5 days now with what she says is kidney stones. She did pass one last year after about 5 hours, and she says the pain is the same, so she knows that it is stones again. However, she now has a very sore throat and says she is just getting a cold. Do I need to be worried?  <response>: Hi, I am sorry to know about your mothers condition. She is probably having a stone in the ureter the tube connecting kidney with bladder. Since it is a very painful condition and can affect kidney function andor general condition, it is very important that she gets medical attention as soon as possible. There are excellent medicines which can control the pain within minutes. However, I cannot prescribe them online. Once you get a confirmation of diagnosis using ultrasonogram and urine microscopy testing, your treating physician will be able to sole the problem very quickly. A single dose of over the counter pain medication can be given for emergency if she does not have pre-existing liver or kidney disease. Make her Chat Doctor. I am available for further guidance at any point of her treatment. Wish your mother a speedy recovery, Best regards,
