I'm experiencing a sore throat, night fevers, and sweating a lot. I've also lost my appetite and have body aches. My left leg is swollen and feels really hard to move, which is making it tough to sleep and wake up. My urine showed bacteria, and I had a Mantoux test done. They mentioned my ESR is raised, and my calcium levels are lower than normal. What could be going on with my health?

I'm having a lot of pain in my right foot, and it turns out my uric acid level is at 8.6. I'm worried because it seems to be causing the pain. What are some ways I can lower my uric acid levels and manage this discomfort better?

To control uric acid levels and manage the pain in your right foot, you can start by making some lifestyle changes. Avoid foods high in purines such as red meat, organ meats, and certain types of seafood. Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid from your body. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medication such as Allopurinol at a dosage of 100-300mg daily to help lower uric acid levels. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations closely and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
