The Fastest way of Relieve Your Painful Gout Attack
Take the medication your doctor prescribed for treating your gout. If you don’t have prescribed medication for your gout use an over-the-counter NSAID such as Ibuprofen .
Recommended dosage for treating an unbearable gout attack.
Ibuprofen,(OTC), take 800 mg 4 times a day
Reduce the dosage as the attack subsides and stop as soon as possible.
See your doctor as soon as possible for a steroid or non-steroidal injection, to quickly reduce the pain.
Remove clothing from the affected area and avoid any pressure on the joint.
Quickly apply an anesthetic spray, or lotion to the affected area, which will help to numb the pain.
Don’t use aspirin as it can worsen the gout attack.
Also avoid alcohol, acidic foods and drinks, fizzy drinks,vitamin C, dehydration,dieting, as they will worsen and prolong the attack.
Drink at least 2 liters of mineral water per day.
Alkalize body and increase blood PH level, one way of doing this is to mix half a teaspoon of normal baking soda to a half pint glass of mineral water and drink every 4 hours (with a maximum of 4 glasses per day), baking soda, as well as alkalizing the body, also accelerates the excretion of excess uric acid crystals and increases the effectiveness of NSAIDs.
Remember to get your doctor’s approval before trying this.
Gently rub ice over the effected area to reduce swelling and pain.
Rest joint until gout has subsided or gone, premature use of the affected joint may prolong the attack.
Find out as much as you can about your gout condition to prevent and treat future attacks. Be prepared, gout often starts without warning. These methods are designed to tackle an acute and unbearable attack and are not the best way of treating and preventing gout in the long term.
