Kemer: local notes for gout
Kemer is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Close by are Tekirova, Belek, Side, which share the same medical services. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
Signs of gout to look for
- Swelling and warmth
- Pain when anything touches the joint
- Fever during a flare
- Shiny red skin over the joint
Common triggers
High uric acid levels in the blood, which form crystals in the joint. Attacks can be set off by alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sweet drinks, dehydration and certain medicines, all frequent on holiday.
Gout explained
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, intense pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most often the big toe.
