How to relieve gout thumb pain

Gout is a disease caused by excessive accumulation of blood uric acid in the body, which leads to redness, swelling, pain and restricted movement of the joints. In the acute phase of gout, for quick pain relief, you can choose colchicine, such as taking 1 tablet 2-3 times a day. Non-steroidal drugs, such as ibuprofen, loxoprofen, celecoxib, diclofenac sodium, etc., can also be used. If there are contraindications to the use of drugs or if the adverse effects of the above drugs are not tolerated, you can also choose to use hormonal drugs for treatment. However, hormonal drugs are slow to be reduced, and if they are reduced too quickly, they may cause a rebound of gout symptoms. During the remission period of gout, it is necessary to continuously lower the blood uric acid to avoid further attacks of gout, such as not to drink alcohol, not to eat all kinds of food containing too much purine, and to use uric acid-lowering drugs such as febuxostat, benzbromarone and allopurinol to continuously lower the blood uric acid when necessary to prevent further attacks of gout.
