How Can Pain Due To Blood Clots In A Superficial Vein Be Treated?

What do I do to relieve pain from blood clots in a superficial vein? I was seen 2 weeks ago at hospital urgent care and had ultra sound. Blood clot or clots seem to be moving down leg below knee to another location. Uncomfortable to say the least. Taking ibuprofen & Tylenol

Hi,

Applying heat can remove blood clots, decrease swelling and pain.

Limb elevation. Taking Aspirin or Ibuprofen can help in relieving pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
