You can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as etoricoxib, to quickly reduce the swelling of knee gout. etoricoxib works relatively quickly, usually in half an hour. If you have severe stomach problems, you cannot use etoricoxib and can choose colchicine for treatment, but colchicine has a certain degree of enterotoxicity and many patients experience severe diarrhea after taking colchicine. If both drugs are not tolerated, short-term treatment with glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, can be used to relieve symptoms under the guidance of a specialist. It is generally not recommended to take uric acid-lowering drugs during the acute attack of gout, because taking uric acid-lowering drugs at this time can aggravate the symptoms of joint pain due to fluctuations in uric acid.
