Signs of Gout to Look for
- Shiny red skin over the joint
- Sudden intense joint pain, often at night
- Swelling and warmth
- Pain when anything touches the joint
- Fever during a flare
Common Triggers
High uric acid levels in the blood, which form crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking frequently does.
About 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
The doctor can review your history, advise on painkillers and flare treatment and renew existing gout medicines where suitable. A hot swollen joint with fever needs in-person assessment. 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
