If you have severe pain, fever, vomiting, can't get urine out then yes.
Yes
Assuming the diagnosis is confirmed you don’t always have to seek emergency care for a passing kidney stone. I recommend you discuss with and devise a plan of action with your primary care physician.
If the pain is intolerable
