Gout in the toe can be cured clinically in most cases. The onset of gout in the toe is usually due to hyperuricemia, which leads to the deposition of uric acid crystals around the joints, resulting in a sterile inflammation of the joints. In the acute phase of gout, you can eat colchicine or use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as etoricoxib, to relieve symptoms. If these two drugs do not work well or are contraindicated, you can apply glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, for a short time under the guidance of a specialist to reduce symptoms. During the acute attack of gout, it is generally not recommended to take uric acid-lowering drugs, because if you take uric acid-lowering drugs during the acute attack, it may aggravate the symptoms of joint pain due to fluctuations in uric acid.
