Regardless of the location of gout, treatment should focus on rapid relief of swollen and painful joints in the acute phase, and on lowering uric acid levels in the intermittent and remission phases. At present, it mainly includes general treatment, drug treatment and other treatments, among which drug treatment is the main mode. General treatment mainly includes patient education, making patients understand the disease correctly, eliminating fear, advising patients to follow medical advice, regular follow-up, and understanding the need for long-term follow-up, as well as a low purine diet, drinking more water, keeping bowels and stools open, and avoiding late nights and strenuous sports. Medication is the main treatment for gout. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine and glucocorticoids can be used during acute attacks. The intermittent and remission periods require the use of uric acid production inhibitors or uric acid excretory drugs. For patients who already have gout stones or kidney complications, treatment is also required depending on the extent of the condition. Other treatments for gout are mainly surgical. For those with large gout stones in the foot that affect the appearance and joint function, they can be surgically removed, or if the foot joints are severely deformed, they can be surgically corrected. In addition, Chinese medicine also has a role in the treatment of gout, and methods such as Chinese medicine foot baths and wet compresses of Chinese medicine on the feet can be used. Therefore, no matter where gout occurs, medication is still the main treatment, while patient education should be emphasized to avoid frequent attacks of acute gout as much as possible.
