Default Kidney Stones

I am a male 71 yr. old & this is my 1st experience w/a kidney stone. Had a CT scan. It's out of my right kidney & a 4 mm. stone is in my right ureter. Have not passed it. Drinking 2-3 quarts of water daily.

On Cephalexin (an antibiotic) because of blood in urine. Dr says this stone should pass on its own because it's small. Still some discomfort but not like the 1st week. This has been going on for 14 days now. Any suggestions? Any prevention strategies? Thanks
