Hello,
Do blood Uric acid test, complete hemogram and x-ray of that knee and consult with physician. Do you have toe swelling?
I will suggest tablet Etoshine for pain relief after physician consultation. If you diagnosed as gout, then you can start tablet Febutaz OD after physician consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
