Understanding Gout
A sudden, intensely painful, red and swollen joint, classically the big toe, is typical of gout, a form of arthritis.
How Gout Is Treated
Your doctor goes through your history, suggests painkillers and flare treatment, and renews regular gout tablets when suitable; a hot, swollen joint with fever must be examined in person. Typical choices are anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
- Drink plenty of water
