Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

You can get tested for Blood urea and Serum creatinine to look for kidney function.

If they are normal you can take Tablet Allopurinol 200mg once a day for a month.

Avoid meat and their gravies, avocado, spinach, beer and other alcohol.

Drink 2 litres of water daily.

Do get tested for Serum Uric acid after a month.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr.Aashish Raghu
