Why gout happens
High uric acid levels in the blood, which form crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a common cause.
What is gout?
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most frequently the big toe.
How gout feels
- Swelling and warmth
- Fever during a flare
- Sudden intense joint pain, frequently at night
What to know about gout in Kalkan
Kalkan’s steep hillside streets, villa pools and boat trips bring turned ankles, sunburn and sea-urchin spines. Remote tours and outdoor days make it harder to reach help, so carry water, basic supplies and your medicines, and contact us early.
Care and treatment for gout
The doctor can review your history, advise on painkillers and flare treatment and renew existing gout medicines where appropriate. A hot swollen joint with fever needs in-person assessment. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth
- Drink plenty of water
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
