Suggest Medication For Swelling In The Toes

Try Ibuprofen
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query for your son.
Read the history, insurance problem, reforming alcoholi, family history of gout swelling spreading from one toe to another without any history of injury.
Since there is no history of any trauma the possibility of gout or an infection is obvious.
Please give some additional information:
Since when has the swelling started?
Is the skin red and warm?
Is there severe tenderness?
Inability to move the toes?
Any other history like diabetes?
Please post actual, clear and focussed photos as they help for on-the- spot diagnosis.
He may certainly try Ibuprofen if it suits him, along with PPI like Omeprazole considering the past history.
If required he needs to consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation, relevant investigations and additional treatment.
Awaiting for feedback and photos.
