E-rx.onlineUnderstanding Gout
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most often the big toe.
Symptoms of Gout
- Shiny red skin over the joint
- Fever during a flare
- Swelling and warmth
- Sudden intense joint pain, commonly at night
- Pain when anything touches the joint
Why Gout Happens
Uric acid crystals build up in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a common cause.
Local Tips for Gout in Kadikalesi
Kadikalesi is a beach and hotel area, so sun, pools and buffet food are the usual causes of holiday illness. Other places within reach include Guvercinlik, Yahsi, Bodrum. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the physician what you have been doing.
Care and Treatment for Gout
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. Treatment can involve anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Drink plenty of water
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth
- Rest and raise the joint
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
