Gout explained
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, intense pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most frequently the big toe.

Symptoms of gout

- Swelling and warmth
- Fever during a flare
- Pain when anything touches the joint
Treatment options for gout in Avsallar
The doctor reviews your history, advises on pain relief and treatment of the flare and can renew your usual gout medicines where appropriate.

Depending on your case, the physician may suggest anti-inflammatory pain relief, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
