NSAIDs for local pain
Antibiotics are only needed if there is an associated cellulitis or obvious infection
Little evidence for anticoagulation unless associated with a DVT
More recent data suggests this approach:
Small clots can be treated with compression, NSAIDs, elevation, follow up within 7-10 days to evaluate for progression
Clots > 5 cm should be treated with anticoagulation, enoxaparin 40 mg subQ QD for 45 days
Clots within 5 cm of sapheno-femoral junction should be treated like a DVT
