Treatment of acute gout and chronic gout

Treatment for acute gout differs slightly from chronic gout, but in the acute phase, anti-inflammatory drugs must be used early, depending on the patient's condition, age, and complications. Colchicine, NSAIDs, or corticosteroids should be selected. All help to play an anti-inflammatory analgesic, detumescence and antipyretic role, but also pay attention to rest, raise the affected limbs, drink plenty of water to prevent fatigue, chronic gout patients due to repeated attacks, joint swelling deformity, may need long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or colchicine. But after the condition stabilizes, should be used to reduce uric acid levels in normal, and actively prevent complications.
