What to do if you have multiple gout flare-ups in one month

Multiple recurrences of gout within a month are chronic migratory extensions. In this case, we must pay attention not to add uric acid-lowering drugs prematurely to avoid excessive fluctuation of blood uric acid concentration, which will instead cause gout attacks and be detrimental to the patient’s recovery. In case of multiple recurrences of gout within a month, it is important to insist on the application of anti-inflammatory drugs to control the condition first, such as colchicine, 0.5 mg each time, 3 or 4 times a day, paying attention to the occurrence of adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, and to reduce or stop the dosage in time. In addition, glucocorticoids can also be combined with glucocorticoid therapy, which also has a rapid effect on symptom control, but must pay attention to the dosage reduction should be appropriately slow, after the condition is completely stable, and then add uric acid-lowering drugs to prevent attacks.
