 🟡Symptoms:

 🟡Pain, tenderness, or warmth in the affected area

 🟡Swelling or redness along the vein

 🟡Skin discoloration

 🟡Visible veins

 🟡Fever (in some cases)

🟩 Lab Findings:

🟩 D-dimer blood test (to detect blood clot formation)

🟩Complete blood count (CBC) to check for infection or inflammation

🟢Treatment:

🟢Compression stockings

🟢Medications (e.g., anticoagulants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)

🟢Elevation of the affected limb

🟢Warm compresses

🟢Surgical intervention (in severe cases)

🟥Physiopathology:

🟥Thrombophlebitis occurs when there is inflammation and blood clot formation in a vein. This can be caused by various factors, including immobility, injury, or changes in the blood flow. The blood clot can obstruct the vein, leading to pain, swelling, and other symptoms. If the blood clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, it can cause a life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism.
