For patients with acute gout, soaking feet in hot water often induces joint inflammation, which is not conducive to the recovery of arthritis. Therefore, it is not recommended to use hot water to soak your feet during acute gout attack, and you should go to a regular medical institution for diagnosis and treatment.

In general treatment, we should strictly control diet, drink plenty of water properly, promote uric acid excretion, and avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be used in acute attack, and drugs that promote uric acid excretion or inhibit uric acid production can be used in remission. These drugs are prescription drugs and need to be carried out under the guidance of a specialist to avoid adverse reactions.

Boiled water is the most suitable drink for gout patients. Fat-free milk and low-fat yogurt are also good choices to reduce blood uric acid and gout.

Eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C in moderation. The research on vitamin C and gout continues. Some studies say that it is beneficial to gout and can promote uric acid excretion. There are also studies that have little impact. No matter what the final conclusion is, it's okay to eat 200-400 grams of fruit in moderation every day.
