How Can Gout On The Right Foot Be Treated?
I have a a all case of gout in my right foot. It is slightly red at the large nuckel on the big toe. It has been 2 weeks and the flare up is still there. How long does it take to heal naturally. I m debating seeing a doctor for this. I m slightly over weight and do not have high cholesterol. No diabetes.

welcome to hcm ...please see that gout may occur in individuals who are non diabetic or who have normal cholesterol
now as joint is inflammed now please take tab aceclofenic 100 mg two times or tab lornoxicam 8 mg two times
after the acute attack of pain amd swelling subsides then you have to take tab febuxostat 40 mg once a day
maintain serum uric acid level below 6.5
maintain adequate weight
gout attack usually resolves in a week or so in majority patients
uf you have any further query then you come back to hcm i will definitely help you
