What is gout?
Gout is a form of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most commonly the big toe.
Why gout happens
Uric acid crystals build up in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a frequent cause.
Signs of gout to look for
- Sudden intense joint pain, frequently at night
- Swelling and warmth
- Pain when anything touches the joint
- Fever during a flare
How to lower your risk of gout
Drink plenty of water, limit alcohol, red meat and sugary drinks, keep to a healthy weight and take any preventive medicine as prescribed.
Care and treatment for gout
Your doctor goes through your history, suggests painkillers and flare treatment, and renews regular gout tablets when suitable; a hot, swollen joint with fever must be examined in person. Options may include anti-inflammatory pain relief, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
- Drink plenty of water
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth
- Rest and raise the joint
