Hi
Thanks for the query.
While febuxostat is helpful in reducing the uric acid levels in the blood it is not useful in an ongoing painful episode of gout.
You will need a course of analgesics or colchicine both of which have to be taken under the supervision of a physician.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
