Hi, Ask Your father to drink plenty of warm water daily. Boil water well before drinking. Kidney stones usually pass if less than 10mm in size. Take less fatty diet for liver problem. Take less calcium containing food to avoid kidney stones in future. For subsiding pain your father can take Inj. Buscopalm or tab Dicyclomine Mefenamic acid. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Pramod Kokare, General & Family Physician
