Hello, if you don't have painkillers around when you have a gout attack, you can use ice packs to reduce inflammation and temporarily relieve pain. Ice can reduce the sensitivity of the tissues to pain, relieve microcirculation and the surrounding tissues of oozing and swelling, thus reducing pain. Be careful not to apply ice directly to the skin when applying cold compresses, but wrap it in a towel or cloth before applying ice. Elevate the affected area (higher than the heart) to apply cold compresses for better pain relief.

If the pain is particularly severe, ice alone won't do the trick, but painkillers must be used. For example: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine and glucocorticoids and other common Western drugs, the three most common is colchicine, dosage and usage should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

If you can't handle the side effects of Western medicine, there are now also very fast-acting, side-effect-free Chinese herbal remedies, such as the "Pain Relief and Acid Relief Therapy".

If you already have symptoms of gout, the Shekou Chinese medicine practitioners suggest that you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible for examination without delay. Gout belongs to the metabolic slow disease, the first time after the onset of the disease, if not targeted treatment, in the gout interval is easy to brand the root of the disease, and then cause more serious complications, must not be taken lightly.
