For immediate relief. Some over the counter medication can provide temporary relief to the pain and swelling. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen can reduce the pain and inflammation slightly, although aspirin should NOT be used as it can worsen the condition. Preparation H hemorrhoidal ointment can be applied to the swollen skin to reduce the swelling temporarily. Ice may be applied for 20–30 minutes several times a day. There are concerns that uric acid crystallization is accelerated by low temperature, but in a 2002 study in the Journal of Rheumatology patients who used ice packs had better relief of pain with no negative side effects. Keeping the affected area elevated above the level of the heart may help as well. Due to swelling around affected joints for prolonged periods, shedding of skin may occur. This is particularly evident when small toes are affected and may promote fungal infection in the web region if dampness occurs; it is usually treated in a similar fashion to athlete's foot.

Take analgesics like a combination paracetamol(acetaminophen) with codeine

And maybe a NSAID if you are able to have it

And then a good dose of prednisolone – you'd have to go to the doctor and get a prescription for this one, usually.

Once the diagnosis has been confirmed, the drugs of choice are indomethacin, other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or intra-articular glucocorticoids, administered via a joint injection. Colchicine was previously the drug of choice in acute attacks of gout. It impairs the motility of granulocytes and can prevent the inflammatory phenomena that initiate an attack of gout. Colchicine should be taken within the first 12 hours of the attack and usually relieves the pain within 48 hours. Its main side-effects (gastrointestinal upset such as diarrhea and nausea) can complicate its use. NSAIDs are the preferred form of analgesia for patients with gout.
