Hello,

I will suggest you to have a detailed look at your foot again to see any redness or swelling over any joint. This seems to be like a flare of your gout or pseudo-gout, manifesting as only fever and pain in joints of foot. Start taking cochicine. Simultaneously keep good hydration. check your uric acid levels and if you find any joint to be red and swollen, always look for infection in joint space. Doctor may tap fluid out from your joint space for test. you also need to measure 24 hours urinary uric acid levels to decide on drug which you need to do once this acute flare of disease is over. Meanwhile, you need to stay and rest in bed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Faisal Bacha, Internal Medicine Specialist
