The episode will last until the crystal is reabsorbed and no longer exists.
There is no rule of thumb. Anti-inflammatory drugs will help but not cure.

Pain meds do nothing more than mask the symptoms.

That's why I say drink water lots of water. It doesn't cure but it helps the
body regain equilibrium.
