Understanding Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis that causes sudden, intense pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most commonly the big toe.
What Can Cause Gout
Uric acid crystals build up in the joint. Attacks can be set off by alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sweet drinks, dehydration and certain medicines, all common on holiday.
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 pain relief, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Rest and raise the joint
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
- Drink plenty of water
