Gout attack on 8th Jan'18
My husband had a gout attack in left foot big toe on 8th Jan midnight for the 1st time ever. He took febustat for 10 days and a couple of painkillers during the attack with suggestions of a doctor. But even after 15 days, he has a bit of pinching pain(irregular intervals) and the toe swells up a little after walking. How long does this last? Should we wait it out? Or should we go for further diagnosis? What kind of diagnosis? Blood tests during the gout attack, Uric acid:8.7, Total Cholesterol: 251, LDL: 169, Triglycerides: 390.

Dear Respected
I have gone through your problems
Increase the dose of febuxostat.
For more clear advice I need to examine you in details along with some investigation like x ray and blood test.
Revert back with all these.
