I once had a teeny tiny one and the pain was so bad it made me vomit twice, worst experience of my life.
As far as I know you just have to wait to pass it if it's small enough, and if it's too large it needs to be removed.

The secret is potassium citrate. You can purchase it in supplement form, but I don't believe it's ground finely enough to get into the bloodstream and kidneys. I realize the following products aren't very good for you, but if you're prone to kidney stones, you'll do anything to prevent them! As daily "maintenance," drink a 10-12 ounce glass of either regular or diet 7-Up. It's the only commercially-available soft drink with this ingredient in enough of a concentration to dissolve growing stones.
If you have an active stone, you need to bring out the big guns. Crystal Light lemonade mixes have even more potassium citrate in each packet. Mix up a half gallon of one of the lemonade mix flavors, and get it down in a 24-hour period. Mix up another, and keep at it. Personally, I can't stomach the Crystal Light on a daily basis because of the artificial sweetener, but the potassium citrate will take care of the stone. Most stones are actually a crystalline growth containing different layers. The potassium citrate will dissolve those bonds, crumbling them into smaller pieces that pass easily.
Sometimes stones will move quickly, from the kidney to the toilet in eight hours or so. Other ones I've had have taken months because they got stuck. Now that I'm handling them with the potassium citrate, I get one maybe every year or so...nothing compared to what it used to be like. Plus, the ones I do get cause very little pain.
One word of caution. If you're prone to kidney stones, it's possible that you have several in the kidneys, just waiting to break loose. In that case, be prepared that the potassium citrate may cause a few more to crumble and work loose until your kidneys are "clean."
For a time, I thought it might be the minerals in the water I was drinking, but after several years of drinking R/O water and still getting them, I was at a loss. Several months ago, I started regularly adding boron to my diet, and I think, from what I've read, there might be something to that. Without enough boron, the body starts metabolizing calcium from the bones and teeth, and depositing it in places it doesn't belong.
