How to treat chest phlebitis

Chest wall phlebitis usually requires no treatment and is relatively self-healing. If the pain is severe, consider using medication and physical therapy to speed up the healing process. 1. Medication: Cephalosporin antibiotics, such as cefuroxime, can be used. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, can be used if necessary. 2. Physiotherapy: the method of wet hot compresses can be used, that is, the compress pads are put into the steamer and heated, wringing out the dressings until no water drips down, the temperature is not hot and suitable, placed on the patient’s chest, and then covered with cotton pads or large towels. Hot compress time is generally 20~30min, every 3~5min replacement pad 1 time. Wet and hot compresses are good for promoting local blood circulation, and then properly improve the symptoms of patients. It is recommended that patients with chest phlebitis consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying their condition. Drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
