About Gout
A sudden, intensely painful, red and swollen joint, classically the big toe, is typical of gout, a form of arthritis.
What Can Cause Gout
High uric acid in the blood forms crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a common cause.
How Gout Feels
- Shiny red skin over the joint
- Sudden intense joint pain, often at night
- Swelling and warmth
- Pain when anything touches the joint
- Fever during a flare
How Gout Is Treated
The doctor can review your history, advise on pain relief and flare treatment and renew existing gout medicines where suitable. A hot swollen joint with fever needs in-person assessment. Typical choices are anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth
- Drink plenty of water
