Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello! After reviewing your problem thoroughly, I would like to suggest you to follow the treatment regime prescribed by your consultants. It could take a longer time to recover.
The prescription of allopurinol ( zyloric ) seems justifiable but paracetamol 650 may not be so effective in reducing pain & swelling. Instead a safer drug like deflazacort may more effectively reduce the symptoms when used only as a 'short term' treatment, unless contraindicated.
Paracetamol is also not indicated in case of renal failure!
Thanks & wishing a speedy recovery for your father!
