When a gout attack occurs, it can be treated mainly with medication, but also with other treatments for relief, as follows: 1. Medication: At this time, medication can be taken to relieve acute pain, the most commonly used being colchicine. Colchicine is a good gout painkiller, but because colchicine may cause diarrhea and stomach pain, should be used with caution, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used to relieve gout pain. 2, other treatment: If there is unilateral joint pain, you can lift the affected limb at rest, which is conducive to pain relief. In addition, local cold compresses can be taken to reduce pain, and local cold compresses can reduce the inflammation caused by gout. Foods containing too much purine, such as animal offal, seafood, alcohol and beverages, should be avoided in the diet, and more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits can be eaten, etc., which are also beneficial to the recovery of gout.
