I've been diagnosed with a kidney stone in my right ureter (5-7mm). I'm taking pain medicines, how long will it take to pass? For recurring stones, what type of diet should I follow?

5 mm stones should pass with right medication, given that your kidney function is ok. If the size is 7 mm, I recommend endoscopic laser surgery, the chances of stone expulsion with medicines is pretty low.
