Phlebitis, which is inflammation of a vein, does not always require blood thinners. Treatment typically focuses on alleviating symptoms and may include warm compresses, anti-inflammatory medications, or elevation of the affected limb. Blood thinners might be considered if there is a risk of thrombosis or if the phlebitis is associated with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding treatment.
