What is the best medicine for gout in the leg and knee, especially with swelling and pain after four days?
Asked by Male, 50 · 19 days ago
NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen), colchicine, or a brief course of corticosteroids are frequently used to treat gout with swelling and pain in the leg or knee that lasts several days. To confirm the flare and talk about beginning or modifying uric acid-lowering medication to stop further flares, you should consult a physician.
