Suggest Treatment For Acute Pain In The Toe
Question: I have acute pain in my toe with inflamed toe. Seems like gout pain. Since Friday morning . Have taken feburic 40 twice a day.
Brief Answer:
You need to take analgesics for acute gout attack.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Gout is treated prophylatically with tab. feburic. I hope you have confirmed the diagnosis by an orthopedician and you have been prescribed the medicine.
In acute phase you have to take analgesics and anti-inflammatories , apply cold pack to the area to reduce the inflammation. It lasts for 3 to 10 days.
Follow these home remedies:
- Tab. Ibuprofen twice daily for 3 days after food and later take as and when required.
- Drink plenty of water so that gout crystals are flushed out.
- Avoid alcohol.
- Elevate your foot.
- Deep breathing exercises help relieve stress. As stress can aggravate gout.
- Avoid high purine diet such as red meat, shellfish, sweetbreads and gravies.
In case your symptoms persist or worsens it is best to meet your treating orthopedician for further treatment.
I hope this answered your query.
