Need Medication For A Blood Clot On Jugular Vein

I think my friend has a blood clot on his jugular vein. He is an iv drug user and this is the area where he injects himself. the vein itself feels hard and the lump on it is the size of a melon ball Id say. I am worried and think he should go to the dr. Please tell me what is going on here.
