During the period of gout attack, we should reflect the principle of “treating the symptoms” in Chinese medicine, i.e., the symptoms of redness, swelling, heat and pain. If the pain is severe, it can be treated with western anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs or colchicine or even hormones, which can quickly relieve the redness and pain of the joints. Since side effects may occur with improper usage and dosage of each drug, these drugs should be applied under the guidance of a doctor. During the intermittent period, Chinese herbal medicines should be given according to the principle of “slow is the cure” and according to the specific physical characteristics of each patient, such as strengthening the spleen, relieving dampness, tonifying the kidney and helping Yang. Chinese medicine has obvious effect on relieving pain, clearing heat and swelling, preventing recurrence, and also has certain effect on lowering uric acid, but for gout patients with blood uric acid above 500, they should take western medicine to lower uric acid for a long time. Allopurinol is a relatively old acid-lowering drug, cheap, but 10% of patients will have serious drug rash, when taking it, we should pay attention to its adverse reactions, including allergy, the inhibition of bone marrow, to monitor liver function, kidney function; febuxostat can inhibit uric acid synthesis, suitable for all gout patients and patients with hyperuricemia, due to febuxostat potent reduction of uric acid value, rapid attainment, by international guidelines It is recommended as the drug of choice because of its potent reduction of uric acid value and rapid achievement of the standard, and is recommended by international guidelines. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive; benzbromarone accelerates the excretion of uric acid by the kidney and has little effect on liver function. However, it should be noted that patients with kidney stones and severe renal insufficiency should be prohibited.
