Uric Acid Pain
Hi, My father is having a problem due to Uric acid levels increasing in his body. because of this he is getting pains by ankle swelling. He got his second vaccine (covishield) two day back, what medicine he can take to reduce the pain and control uric acid. Previously 8months back he got the same pain and swelling, that time he use to take injection (Diclofenac Sodium & Dexamethasone Injection), after taking this injection only pain will reduce. But now after vaccination he can take this injection or is there any medicine to reduce the pain and to control uric acid. From last 10years he is not taking non-veg and control in food not taking high protein food as well. Please suggest me what we can do?

Hi. For acute pain he can take diclofenac, if his creatinine is normal. Other medication can be advised only with a detailed history and investigation reports. Rest the involved foot and apply ice to it. He will have to be started on long term uric acid lowering therapy since he is having recurrent arthritis episodes.
