I get gout Flare attacks atleast once a year but this year there has been 2 back to back. Once on the right big toe and second on the left ankle.
Changed my diet and taking below medicines for immediate relief but pain doesn't seem to come down. From the current prescription should I replace Dolonex with Ibuprofen. Due to Covid and leg pain, not in a position to visit a doctor in person.

Dolonex contains a higher painkiller than Ibuprofen. So yes, if you are not allergic to Ibuprofen, you may replace Dolonex with Ibuprofen.
But both of these are merely painkillers. Your main treatment is Febuget. Also, make sure to avoid non-vegetarian food, eggs and alcohol. Make sure your sugar level and blood pressure are under control. These steps will help keep your uric acid level within normal limits.
You need to take professional advice for your problem and be disciplined about your diet.
Consult a Nephrologist, and Dietician and take further advice.
