See an MD: Gout is most effectively treated medically. There are medications that can be used to prevent dowdy flareups. See a primary care doctor for initiation of proper treatment.

Several things: Change their diet to one. That is low in purines, limit alcohol, see a doctor for medication to limit formation of uric acid.
