The usual precautions for patients with gouty arthritis are as follows: (1) timely anti-inflammatory and pain relief during the attack period: immediately use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as fotarine, mobicol, or loxoprofen, etc., choose one of these drugs for short-term treatment, and the drug can be stopped after the disappearance of joint symptoms. The dosage of drugs can be increased appropriately in the first 1-2 days of the beginning of the attack, and can be used orally and externally at the same time. Note that local compresses should not be applied hot, do not soak the feet in hot water, but apply cold compresses, and need to elevate the limbs to rest. Although colchicine has a good pain relief effect, it should not be used as the first choice because of many side effects. Do not add new drugs that lower blood uric acid such as benzbromarone or allopurinol during the attack period, so as not to cause the acute period to be prolonged by the drastic fluctuation of blood uric acid level. (2) Drink more water and take oral sodium bicarbonate: more than 2000 ml per day and take alkaline drugs such as sodium bicarbonate in appropriate amount to alkalize urine and promote uric acid excretion. Pay attention to monitor the PH value of urine during taking the drug, the best value is 6.5-6.8. (3) Strictly low purine diet and abstain from alcohol: low purine diet is mostly vegetarian, egg, milk and gum food. Pay attention to reduce high purine diet such as all kinds of animal offal, seafood, meat soup, fish soup and beef, etc., especially during the attack period. Alcohol consumption can often trigger or aggravate gouty arthritis. (4) Prohibit staying up late: Staying up late makes the body an acidic environment, which is not conducive to uric acid excretion and can instead trigger gouty arthritis. (5) Regularly monitor the blood uric acid level and the PH value of urine, and visit the doctor regularly. Long-term drug users should also frequently check blood and liver and kidney functions to observe adverse drug reactions. (6) Actively prevent and treat related diseases: Many related diseases often exist in combination with gout, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension, which need to be treated actively. Obese people should pay attention to slow weight loss. When using certain drugs, you need to read the instruction manual carefully. Many drugs may cause an increase in blood uric acid and trigger gout, such as Beijing Buck Zero and Tachyphylaxis. In this case, you need to switch to other drugs.
