Gout is not an infection, it is an irritation of the joint in the large toe which results from a precipitation of uric acid. Reduce protein consumption in order to reduce blood levels of uric acid, and keep the foot warm, to increase solubility of uric acid. Hot baths are helpful.

Of course, if you have not consulted a doctor, but you have made your own diagnosis of gout, it is possible that you actually do have an infection, rather than gout. If you have an infection that does not go away, you need an antibiotic, and it has to be prescribed by a doctor; it requires medical training to be able to determine which antibiotic is the right one to use for a particular infection.
