This one, best cure is taking care of own diet plus long term medication of Zyloric to lower down uric acid. It's not the kind of problem where you can just rely on specialist to cure.

 

For immediate pain relieve, for strong medication, take mobic or voltaren. Milder ones is synflex. As this medicine is quite strong, it usually comes with another medicine that protects your stomach from getting ulcers. To cure the swelling, take Danzen. All of the above mentioned medication needs prescription.

 

Food to avoid:

1) Seafood with high purine (e.g. shell type seafood, sotong, prawn)

2) Red meat

3) Alcohol

Just go down to any GP and have an injection, after that the swell will go away.

i have gout and a level of uric acid myself. its a painful attack everytime it comes to u. wat i'm doing is drinking more alkaline water. that helps in balancing the PH in your body. if he's on the 'hardcore' side of gout then he needs to be on long term medication of allopurinol. please do watch his diet and your own too. its likely that if your dad has it, u are also highly likely that u gonna get it too. a jab + colchicine + painkillers normally does the job well.

 

p.s. heard that drinking coconut water helps in reducing the uric acid, i have not tried it but eating more berries helps.

seriously, there is no special need for a specialist for treatment of gout. most GPs can take care of that very well.

yeah, there is no specialist in gout.

 

just go to any GP will do, take medicine or jab (if really cannot tahan the pain)

 

eat less beans and peanuts and such to reduce the chances of it attack, but there is no cure for it.

The injection is only a painkiller, voltaren... this painkiller induces asthma, so pls inform the doc if your dad has asthma.

 

Colchicine eat only when there is an attack and its side effects is lao sai, your dad should be on long term medication (allupurinol) do not take this, when there is an attack, it will make it worse.

 

During the period the painkiller is in effect, watch the diet and rest the leg. Soaking the leg in warm water and massaging it helps alot......

 

Gout is incurable so no need see specialist.

 

PM if you need more advice. I have gout too....
