What to do if you have gout

Gout patients should choose the appropriate medication according to the acute and chronic phases, and pay attention to daily habits and so on. 1. Acute attack: anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment, often choose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as diclofenac sodium, etc.), colchicine, and glucocorticoid (such as prednisone acetate) treatment if necessary. 2. Interictal and chronic treatment: uric acid-lowering treatment should be carried out, and commonly used uric acid-lowering drugs include febuxostat, allopurinol, benzbromarone and so on. 3. Daily life: pay attention to dietary management, avoid alcohol, avoid excessive intake of high purine food, such as animal offal, seafood, etc.; drink more water; ensure enough sleep; and review the uric acid level regularly. It is recommended that patients with gout go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to standardize the diagnosis and treatment, and avoid self-medication, in order to avoid delayed treatment or adverse reactions.
