Are you sure your mother has gout? She needs to go to the doctor SOON. It sounds like it is either gout, or diabetes too. Gout is caused by high uric acid, there are medications that she can get prescribed that will help this. Foods high in protein lead to increased uric acid production. You also want to make sure she drinks plenty of fluids which will hopefully promote uric acid excretion through the kidneys. #1 THING, she needs to go to the doctor because Gout that is that severe cannot be managed solely through diet. She needs prescription medications.

Sound like arthritis or rheumatism. Better bring her to see the doctor asap.

Gout is a rich man disease due to eating rich food.

Most probably your mother is having a combination of gout and arthritis. The reason why she feels the pain more during cold rainy season is because lower temperature slows down blow flow around the feet and the exposed surface of the feet is higher compared to other part of the body, as more heat lost from the feet, the drop of temperature will increase the formation of urate crystals in the joints which will eventually lead to pain sensation your mum is experiencing.

Those drugs you get from the pharmacy are mainly pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs, none of them has anything to do with dissolving the uric acid crystals in the joint. The most effectively to reduce the frequency and severeness of her pain is to cultivate a habit of soaking the feet in the hot water for about 15 minutes 2 to 3 times in a day, especially during the cold morning and night time before she goes to bed.

It must be soaking the feet only, because you need to create a temperature difference that promote the upward flow of blood from the feet. Higher temperature near the feet will 'push' the blood to flow upwards which will help the dissolving of the urate crystals hidden in the joints.
