What to do if you get gout at the age of twenty

The current tendency of gout attacks to be younger should be actively treated, and if not treated in time recurrent gout attacks may lead to irreversible joint damage. During the acute attack of gout, rapid pain relief is the main focus, for example, you can choose non-steroidal drugs or colchicine for treatment, and if necessary, you can choose a combination of non-steroidal drugs and colchicine. Alternatively, hormonal drugs can be used to provide rapid pain relief. During the remission period of gout, you need to actively reduce blood uric acid. Only when uric acid is controlled in the normal range and maintained for a long time, can you avoid the situation of continued gout attacks. First, strict dietary control is needed, such as not drinking alcohol, not eating foods with too much purine, etc. Secondly, it is also necessary to use uric acid-lowering drugs for treatment. Commonly used uric acid-lowering drugs, such as febuxostat, allopurinol, benzbromarone, etc., can be selected according to the specific type of elevated uric acid for treatment, and the blood uric acid test should be retested regularly to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug treatment and change other types of drugs in time if necessary.
