First gout flare up need advice

Just found this group. Last Monday I woke up with a swollen big toe and intense pain in my toe from even the slightest physical contact. I could sort of bend it back and forth so didn’t think I broke it. Had to travel so painfully shoved it in a shoe and dealt with it. Ice and ibuprofen didn’t seem to do much. Went to urgent care on Saturday and they suspected gout. Xray revealed no breaks so they prescribed me Colchicine. I’ve been taking it for 48 hours and the things have gotten much better but still not back to normal. Since this is my first time through what should I expect over the next few days?
