Gout is still painful after one month, indicating that the patient has entered a period of chronic gouty arthritis, at which time anti-inflammatory pain relief is still the main treatment method. Commonly used anti-inflammatory pain medications, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, and glucocorticoids. If a patient is currently not well treated with one of these, the other two can be added in combination, for example, patients who are not effectively treated with colchicine can be treated with a combination of glucocorticoids or a combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Most patients will experience gradual relief of symptoms with the use of anti-inflammatory and pain medications. Once the swelling and pain in the joints have basically disappeared, the patient can consider adding uric acid-lowering medication to the treatment. The only way to reduce recurrent attacks of gouty arthritis and avoid chronic arthritis is to control the blood uric acid below 360umol/L and to keep it in a long-term state of compliance.
