The best treatment for gout

Hot compress or soaking in medicinal liquid.

The acute attack of gout should be controlled quickly to correct hyperuricemia. Under normal circumstances, patients need to stay in bed and their limbs can be raised. Those with severe pain can apply cold compress appropriately to relieve the pain.

Gout in small areas such as fingers, hands and feet can be treated by hot compress or soaking in liquid medicine. The application method is to soak gauze or towel in ginger juice or medicinal liquor, or boil it. It should not be scalded (60-70 degrees) after being taken out. Generally, it should be applied to the affected area for 3 to 5 times, each time for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The second method can be applied to the whole body.

In addition, pumpkin is a low-energy alkaline fruit and vegetable, and uric acid is easily dissolved in alkaline food. Cooking corn and pumpkin with less purine is more suitable for obese gout patients to eat for a long time.
