Hello. My name is black reki. My age is 23. I tested my uric acid one month ago it was 7.2. So I started drinking more water and tried to restrain myself from meat. Now I tested again my uric acid and it is 8.4. What preventive measures should I take and which medicine to use which has no major side effects?
