Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
Indocid or Ibuprofen!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

MY preferred medications to treat gout pain are:

Ibuprofen: 800mg thrice daily OR
Indomethacin: 50mg thrice daily

Applying ice packs would equally help. Avoid alcohol, red meat and exercise often to loss weight.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
