hi,
As you mentioned your son is having DVT, then there should be some metabolic dysfunction occuring. IF he can perform regular exercises for the lower limb strengthening and cardiorespiratory endurance training it will surely make out of the medication. Also if he is a smoker then he needs to quiet smoking as it will help to keep the blood thinner and the exercises will help to improve the cellular metabolism to avoid the DVT formation.
With the grace of God i wish your son a good health
