Can patients with gout use air conditioning?

Gout patients can use air conditioning appropriately, but should pay attention to the following points: 1. Temperature control: The air conditioning temperature should not be too low. It is recommended to maintain a temperature of around 23°C. Excessively low temperatures may cause joint chilling and trigger gout attacks. 2. Avoid direct exposure: Gout patients should avoid prolonged direct exposure to air conditioning, especially ensuring cold air does not blow directly onto the joints, to prevent joint chilling and pain. 3. Ensure ventilation: While using air conditioning, it is important to maintain indoor ventilation to avoid excessively dry or closed environments, which may affect health. 4. Use in moderation: Air conditioning should be used moderately; prolonged stays in air-conditioned environments should be avoided to prevent adverse effects on the body. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
