How gout is treated
The physician reviews your history, advises on pain relief and treatment of the flare and can renew your usual gout medicines where appropriate. A hot swollen joint with fever needs in-person assessment. Options may include anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
