    This is directly due to the presence of urate crystals (crystals of sodium and uric acid) in the swelling that continue to trigger the release of inflammatory factors by phagocytes, causing swelling of tissue cells. Although the pain has been reduced, there is still a certain amount of uric acid in the blood, and uric acid continues to be transported to the swollen area. You can choose to drink more tea polyphenols, proanthocyanidins and other antioxidant water, on the one hand, inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase in the body (one of the two main culprits that cause gout, responsible for the production of purine-uric acid), on the other hand, directly neutralize uric acid in the blood, which can greatly reduce the amount of uric acid in the blood, and there will be no more swelling.

    Hope it helps.
