Hi, Thanks for writing in. The stone in kidney might be 20 mm in size. This is a large stone and will not respond to oral medical treatment. Since the stone has been broken to two parts, it is still large and can cause obstruction in the kidneys or urinary tract. The swelling, fever and pain is due to the obstruction and probable infection in the block in passage of urine. It is important that he continues taking allopatry treatment as per instructions of his urologist. If there is HY Chat Doctor.  Doing regular kidney function tests is important. If required inserting a double J stent in to the affected kidney might be needed to restore proper functioning even in the presence of smaller stone fragments after lithography.
