Methods to rapidly lower uric acid levels in 3 days mainly include: 1. Drink more water: Ensure an adequate daily water intake to help promote uric acid excretion. It is recommended to maintain a daily urine output of more than 2000 mL. 2. Adjust diet: Reduce intake of high-purine foods, such as organ meats and seafood, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid alcohol consumption, as alcohol can inhibit uric acid excretion. 3. Engage in moderate exercise: Appropriate physical activity can accelerate metabolism and aid in uric acid excretion. However, avoid strenuous exercise, as it may temporarily elevate uric acid levels. 4. Medication: If the above methods are ineffective, uric acid-lowering medications such as benzbromarone tablets or febuxostat tablets may be taken under a doctor's guidance.
