Acute gout usually takes a few days to a week to resolve. Under the stimulation of joint inflammation, patients with acute attacks of gout will experience symptoms such as severe joint pain and joint swelling. Acute attacks often occur at night, start suddenly, and the pain is progressively worsening, and these symptoms can usually be relieved on their own in a few days to a week or so. These symptoms usually resolve on their own within a few days to a week or so. However, in patients with recurrent gout attacks, the duration may become longer and longer. Patients with acute attacks of gout can take anti-inflammatory drugs and elevate the affected limbs, bed rest and other ways to ease the symptoms and avoid aggravation of the symptoms, daily should increase the amount of water, and strictly avoid a high-purine diet. It is recommended that gout patients go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for consultation and standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
