Yes and it may help, but many patients don't find it enough.
You might want to add a NSAID type medication such as Ibuprofen or indomethacin
Prednisolone is quite effective at reducing pain and inflammation.

No, it is not the best medicine to take.
--------------
Colchicine and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective in the treatment of acute gout and are much superior to paracetamol or aspirin. In addition, NSAIDs are superior to colchicine in terms of speed of onset of action. Thus, despite having been used for centuries, colchicine is usually reserved for patients in whom NSAIDs are contraindicated.
Intra-articular administration of Corticosteroids is a particularly effective means of terminating an attack of gout. Resolution is typically complete within 12–24 hours.

NO! Avoid products that contain Asprin, Paracetamol (tylenol, cold medicines, etc.) while under a gout attack as they may prolong the illness and prevent the attack from subsiding.

its a general pain killer, it doesnt do anything for the pain where it is, it blocks the pain signal in your brain.
