Brief Answer:
Follow the following things.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In terms of diet control and medications you need to do following-
Increase the consumption of dietary soluble fibres such as Isabgol, Oats, Spinach, Broccoli. Dietary fibre may help absorb uric acid in your bloodstream, allowing it to be eliminated from your body through your kidneys.
Use cold-pressed olive oil in cooking. Olive oil helps you avoid the production of excess uric acid, which is associated with the consumption of fats.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Avoid foods that are high in purine like spinach, beans, peas, lentils, oatmeal, cauliflower and mushrooms, meat. Avoid caffeine and alcohol
Keep well hydrated, drinking 2 to 3 liters of water per day.
Do regular exercise, jogging, swimming to manage your weight.
You can take tylenol or ibuprofen for relief of gout-related pain.
If your uric acid level in blood is still high, uricosuric drugs include probenecid and Xanthine oxidase inhibitors - Such as allopurinol will be helpful to prevent the gout. Please consult your doctor before taking these.
