What to do about severe gout

Patients with severe gout must be treated in the rheumatology department of a regular hospital and need to improve the relevant tests to evaluate the condition specifically. In the acute phase of arthritis, the main thing is to choose appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs to treat the patient according to his age and complications, such as colchicine, or etoricoxib tablets, celecoxib, ibuprofen, etc. Small doses of glucocorticoids can also be used, all of which can be used to rapidly reduce swelling and analgesia. If the disease is in remission, effective uric acid-lowering drugs should be used to control the blood uric acid level, usually febuxostat or allopurinol, benzbromarone, etc. It is also important to pay attention to regular follow-up and review the relevant indicators, and to actively prevent various complications.
