Quick Fixes for Gout in the Bunion of the Foot

There is no such thing as a “quick fix” for bunion gout. Gouty thumbs can be relieved with colchicine or NSAIDs, and hyperuricemia needs to be corrected after symptoms are relieved. When gout involves the metatarsophalangeal joints, it may lead to pain, redness and swelling of the thumbs. At this time, colchicine can be taken to relieve the symptoms after ruling out the contraindications of the corresponding drugs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as etoricoxib, loxoprofen, diclofenac sodium, etc., of which colchicine has a relatively better effect in the first 12 hours of the acute attack of gout. After the relief of gout symptoms, patients still need to take febuxostat, allopurinol and other inhibitors of uric acid production and probenecid, benzbromarone and other inhibitors of uric acid excretion to correct hyperuricemia in order to improve the prognosis and reduce the occurrence of complications. Drugs should be used under the guidance of a physician, and gout patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals, orthopedics and other related departments and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
