should I take antibiotics?
Brief Answer:
You need to check your uric acid
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Pain in toes can be due to GOUT as you are saying. For confirmation I would suggest you to get blood test for uric acid . If it is above 6 then you will need treatment for it. There is no role of antibiotics in it. For pain relief at present you need to take ice fomentation and tablet Brufen for pain relief.
thanks

Brief Answer:
You need to check your blood sugar

Hello,
Thanks for replying. As you have mentioned that you are taking medication for heart fibrillation , these medications also causes increase in muscle fatigue.it is good that you are taking food supplements and you are a vegetarian. If your uric acid is high then you need to stop taking protein rich diet like beans, pulses and alcohol. I would also suggest you to take calcium and vitamin D 3.
