What Is The Treatment For Gout Disease?
I had Gout pain in left foot and while under medication, right foot also developed pain. So continued the medication for right foot and the left foot was ok. When the Right foot got cured, the laft foot again picked the same pain while I continued the medication. So the pain in left foot is due to uric acid crystals or due to earlier inflammation turning to infection? Please advise medication.

Hi the medication used in gout is to control your blood uric acid level, and no empirical prescription can be made without knowing its level. second important thing is that you have to avoid foods that increase this level throughout life or you will constantly have this trouble. a sincere effort is needed to this end to stay healthy. consult your rheumatologist and get appropriate treatment
