Knee pain and swelling
My father is suffering from right side knee pain and swollen knee for the last 15 days. Before this we met a doctor and he said uric acid level is high for my father so he should maintain a diet according to that. My question is whether my father gets knee pain because of the uric acid or what. And also please mention best treatments or medicines for this knee pain. Thank you.
