Hello,

For gout, you can take tablet Allopurinol or tablet Febuxostat. Do regular monitoring of blood uric acid.

Also, go for x-ray of affected joints. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with rheumatologist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
