Respected Gemzkie , hi it`s halfly treated thrombophlebitis dear. In our clinic we advise* ice application for 3-4 times a day * keep the area clean with antiseptic solution or liquid * avoid excess weight lifting or computer work with affected arm * cephalosporin group of antibiotic with anti-inflammatory agents to get faster healing and recovery * local application of ointments like Thrombophobe ointment 3-4 times a day * regular follow up of the patient in clinic. Hope this clears your doubts dear. thanks regards ,take care. wishing you a fast speedy recovery. Bye Gemzkie
