Although it is a small stone one has to see whether it is causing symptoms and whether there is swelling seen in the kidney ( hydronephrosis) ok the ultrasound to see if the stone is obstructive or not. Those stone causing symptoms and swelling in the kidney need to be dealt with surgically.
Next Steps
consult an urologist for proper evaluation and treatment
