Yes....!!!
We can try few medicines to expulse stone of its own..!!
As the stone is less than 1 cm, there is a chance that it may come out of its own..!!
But this medicines should be tried only upto 10-14 days from the start of symptoms...!!
If it doesnt come out within this period then surgery should be considered.!!
