Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your father is having gout for which he is taking treatment. But he is now having severe swelling and deformities. In gout fabuxostat is helpful in relieving uric acid level. For pain and swelling reduction anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen are useful. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
