What method can gout attack relieve quickly?

Gout is also called hyperuricemia, which literally means hyperuricemia. It is just that some foods with high protein, high fat and high purine are eaten too much, which leads to the accumulation of these things in the body and indigestion, which leads to high uric acid. Many people know that gout attacks can be painful, and this kind of pain is unbearable. There is no sign before the attack, and pain is one of the most important manifestations of gout. Therefore, we must reduce the intake of foods with high purine content. Because hyperpurine is one of the causes of gout attack, it is also one of the reasons why many people have high pathogenic factors. The most effective way to treat gout is drug treatment. But if there is no medicine, or the medicine has been used up, what methods should be used to quickly relieve gout?

First, raise the affected limb.

When gout attacks, we can raise the pain side, which can promote venous blood return, reduce edema and eliminate pain. So when gout attacks, we should pay attention to rest, lie in bed and put a pillow under our feet to help us relieve the pain.

Second, cold compress.

Usually we can also use cold compress to relieve the pain. Many people think that hot compress can be used when gout attacks. In fact, this is wrong, because hot compress will promote blood circulation and accelerate recovery. But gout is just the opposite. When the skin capillary pressure is too high, if the blood flow increases, it will even rupture and aggravate the symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to apply cold compress and get rid of wrong views.

Third, drink more water.

Gout patients should drink plenty of water every day, and must exceed 2000ml. Because after drinking more water, the frequency of urination will increase, so that uric acid in the body can be quickly discharged. Therefore, we must develop good drinking habits at ordinary times, and remember to drink more water and urinate more every day. In this way, uric acid will be discharged quickly, the number of gout attacks will gradually decrease, and the condition will be restored.
