Should Lovenox Injection Needs To Be Given For A Blood Clot?

Should a 15 year old boy have a Lovenox injection if a blood clot has not been detected by ultra sound?
He did 50 push ups earlier in the evening and his left arm is now swollen. Went to the ER and x-rays were negative, but no staff was available to do an ultra sound.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, unless we know the exact clot is there it can not be treated like that only with any medicine and to detect it Doppler study is the only option by which it can be said that the it is really clot or not, hope this information helps you, good bye.
