HIgh levels of uric acid lead to gout. Relief from gout pain can be achieved through NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. The medication to lower uric acid levels in the body is called allopurinol (brand name Zyloric). The dosage of each medication will have to be adjusted based on the your uric acid level reports and active symptoms. Opting for low purine content foods can also help reduce uric acid levels in the body.

I'm having this persistent pain along the right side of my sternum and it's starting to worry me. I've had several tests donea breast ultrasound, MRI, X-ray, and even an echoand they all came back normal. I'm wondering, could costochondritis be the cause, and if so, is there any imaging that can detect it? I really need to figure out what's going on.

Patient is advised ibuprofen orally ,twice daily for 7 days, rest,ice,avoid smoking and avoid stress is advised to the patient.
