Hello,
First option might be Gout disease. To diagnose these doctors need to do blood and urine tests. If that is the case the treatment is with specific drugs such as Colchicine or Allopurinol. If the tests for Gout do not confirm this, it may be an infection and blood tests will confirm it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
