To effectively manage gout, it's essential to adopt a comprehensive treatment approach. Start by making lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and high-purine foods like red meat and shellfish, which can elevate uric acid levels. Drinking plenty of water helps flush out excess uric acid, while regular physical activity supports joint health. Alongside these changes, medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, and uric acid-lowering agents can provide relief from pain and prevent future attacks. Dr. Anu Daber tailors the treatment plan based on each patient's condition, ensuring long-term relief and better joint function.
