What to do if an elderly person has a gout stone in his foot

Elderly people with gout stones in their feet can be treated with medication and surgery. 1. Drug treatment: elderly patients with gout stones should take uric acid-lowering drugs and alkalinizing urine drugs for treatment, in which febuxostat, benzbromarone, allopurinol and other uric acid-lowering drugs can play a role in reducing the effect of the patient’s blood uric acid level, while potassium citrate, sodium bicarbonate and other alkalinizing urine drugs can play a role in promoting the excretion of uric acid. 2. Surgical treatment: gout stones that seriously affect joint function can be surgically removed, but surgical treatment is not a complete cure for gout stones. Drugs need to be used under the guidance of a physician, it is recommended that patients to the regular hospital rheumatology and immunology, orthopedics and other related departments for consultation, do not take drugs.
